Capítulo 8, Página 20
“Very
strange!”
muttered
Holmes,
pulling
at
the
rope.
“There
are
one
or
two
very
singular
points
about
this
room.
For
example,
what
a
fool
a
builder
must
be
to
open
a
ventilator
into
another
room,
when,
with
the
same
trouble,
he
might
have
communicated
with
the
outside
air!”
“That
is
also
quite
modern,”
said
the
lady.
“Done
about
the
same
time
as
the
bell-rope?”
remarked
Holmes.
“Yes,
there
were
several
little
changes
carried
out
about
that
time.”
“They
seem
to
have
been
of
a
most
interesting
character—dummy
bell-ropes,
and
ventilators
which
do
not
ventilate.
With
your
permission,
Miss
Stoner,
we
shall
now
carry
our
researches
into
the
inner
apartment.”
Dr.
Grimesby
Roylott’s
chamber
was
larger
than
that
of
his
step-daughter,
but
was
as
plainly
furnished.
A
camp-bed,
a
small
wooden
shelf
full
of
books,
mostly
of
a
technical
character,
an
armchair
beside
the
bed,
a
plain
wooden
chair
against
the
wall,
a
round
table,
and
a
large
iron
safe
were
the
principal
things
which
met
the
eye.
Holmes
walked
slowly
round
and
examined
each
and
all
of
them
with
the
keenest
interest.
“What’s
in
here?”
he
asked,
tapping
the
safe.
“My
stepfather’s
business
papers.”
