Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
A Case of Identity
Capítulo 3, Página 3
“Never
mind,”
said
Holmes,
laughing;
“it
is
my
business
to
know
things.
Perhaps
I
have
trained
myself
to
see
what
others
overlook.
If
not,
why
should
you
come
to
consult
me?”
“I
came
to
you,
sir,
because
I
heard
of
you
from
Mrs.
Etherege,
whose
husband
you
found
so
easy
when
the
police
and
everyone
had
given
him
up
for
dead.
Oh,
Mr.
Holmes,
I
wish
you
would
do
as
much
for
me.
I’m
not
rich,
but
still
I
have
a
hundred
a
year
in
my
own
right,
besides
the
little
that
I
make
by
the
machine,
and
I
would
give
it
all
to
know
what
has
become
of
Mr.
Hosmer
Angel.”
“Why
did
you
come
away
to
consult
me
in
such
a
hurry?”
asked
Sherlock
Holmes,
with
his
finger-tips
together
and
his
eyes
to
the
ceiling.
Again
a
startled
look
came
over
the
somewhat
vacuous
face
of
Miss
Mary
Sutherland.
“Yes,
I
did
bang
out
of
the
house,”
she
said,
“for
it
made
me
angry
to
see
the
easy
way
in
which
Mr.
Windibank—that
is,
my
father—took
it
all.
He
would
not
go
to
the
police,
and
he
would
not
go
to
you,
and
so
at
last,
as
he
would
do
nothing
and
kept
on
saying
that
there
was
no
harm
done,
it
made
me
mad,
and
I
just
on
with
my
things
and
came
right
away
to
you.”
“Your
father,”
said
Holmes,
“your
stepfather,
surely,
since
the
name
is
different.”
“Yes,
my
stepfather.
I
call
him
father,
though
it
sounds
funny,
too,
for
he
is
only
five
years
and
two
months
older
than
myself.”
“And
your
mother
is
alive?”
“Oh,
yes,
mother
is
alive
and
well.
I
wasn’t
best
pleased,
Mr.
Holmes,
when
she
married
again
so
soon
after
father’s
death,
and
a
man
who
was
nearly
fifteen
years
younger
than
herself.
Father
was
a
plumber
in
the
Tottenham
Court
Road,
and
he
left
a
tidy
business
behind
him,
which
mother
carried
on
with
Mr.
Hardy,
the
foreman;
but
when
Mr.
Windibank
came
he
made
her
sell
the
business,
for
he
was
very
superior,
being
a
traveller
in
wines.
They
got
£
4700
for
the
goodwill
and
interest,
which
wasn’t
near
as
much
as
father
could
have
got
if
he
had
been
alive.”
