The Adventure of the Speckled Band
Capítulo 8, Página 18
“Ah!
that
is
suggestive.
Now,
on
the
other
side
of
this
narrow
wing
runs
the
corridor
from
which
these
three
rooms
open.
There
are
windows
in
it,
of
course?”
“Yes,
but
very
small
ones.
Too
narrow
for
anyone
to
pass
through.”
“As
you
both
locked
your
doors
at
night,
your
rooms
were
unapproachable
from
that
side.
Now,
would
you
have
the
kindness
to
go
into
your
room
and
bar
your
shutters?”
Miss
Stoner
did
so,
and
Holmes,
after
a
careful
examination
through
the
open
window,
endeavoured
in
every
way
to
force
the
shutter
open,
but
without
success.
There
was
no
slit
through
which
a
knife
could
be
passed
to
raise
the
bar.
Then
with
his
lens
he
tested
the
hinges,
but
they
were
of
solid
iron,
built
firmly
into
the
massive
masonry.
“Hum!”
said
he,
scratching
his
chin
in
some
perplexity,
“my
theory
certainly
presents
some
difficulties.
No
one
could
pass
these
shutters
if
they
were
bolted.
Well,
we
shall
see
if
the
inside
throws
any
light
upon
the
matter.”
A
small
side
door
led
into
the
whitewashed
corridor
from
which
the
three
bedrooms
opened.
Holmes
refused
to
examine
the
third
chamber,
so
we
passed
at
once
to
the
second,
that
in
which
Miss
Stoner
was
now
sleeping,
and
in
which
her
sister
had
met
with
her
fate.
It
was
a
homely
little
room,
with
a
low
ceiling
and
a
gaping
fireplace,
after
the
fashion
of
old
country-houses.
A
brown
chest
of
drawers
stood
in
one
corner,
a
narrow
white-counterpaned
bed
in
another,
and
a
dressing-table
on
the
left-hand
side
of
the
window.
These
articles,
with
two
small
wicker-work
chairs,
made
up
all
the
furniture
in
the
room
save
for
a
square
of
Wilton
carpet
in
the
centre.
The
boards
round
and
the
panelling
of
the
walls
were
of
brown,
worm-eaten
oak,
so
old
and
discoloured
that
it
may
have
dated
from
the
original
building
of
the
house.
Holmes
drew
one
of
the
chairs
into
a
corner
and
sat
silent,
while
his
eyes
travelled
round
and
round
and
up
and
down,
taking
in
every
detail
of
the
apartment.
“Where
does
that
bell
communicate
with?”
he
asked
at
last
pointing
to
a
thick
bell-rope
which
hung
down
beside
the
bed,
the
tassel
actually
lying
upon
the
pillow.
“It
goes
to
the
housekeeper’s
room.”
“It
looks
newer
than
the
other
things?”
