Show lock homes
A case of identity
Part one
An interesting case show lock homes and i were sitting at the fireplace in our baker street
Lodgings
Would you like a pinch of snoff
Watson asked homes
The detective held that a gold snuff box with a large amathest in the center of a lid
The ornate box was such a contrast to homes
A simple way of life that i had to comment on it
Where did you get the snuff box
I asked it's a little present from the kingaabbohema in return from my assistance with the iron either case and the ring
I asked clancing at the remarkable diamond that spark led upon his finger
It was from the raining family holland for helping with a matter of extreme delicicacy said
Homes
I can't confine the details to anyone
Not even knew my dar watson are you working on anything special
Right now i asked him
I have ten or twelve cases
That are important
He replied
But none of them are interesting
Homes rose from his chair and went over to the window
However i may soon have an interesting one look down there on the sidewalk
I went over to the window
A tall young woman stood across the street
She was wearing a black jacket
Turned with matching beatds in fringe
Her gry broadbriin strauhahad was accended with a red feather and a heavy fur bower was wrapped around her neck
She seems to have some money
Although not the best haste clothing
I commented the woman nervously peeed our windows
And plaplayed with the buttons on her loves ves suddenshe plununged across the street and ring our door bell in a few moments
Our land
Lady mrs hudson announced her visitor miss mary suthererland homes welcomed the woman
And asked her to sit down
Then he studied her for a minute with your poor eyesight
Do you find that it's difficult to use a typewriter for so many hours a day
He asked i did it first
But now i know where the letters are without looking miss setlland said quickly
Then suddenly realizing what homehad said she looked at him with both fear and astonishment in her eyes
How did you know all that about me
She asked i have trained myself to see what others overlook
Said holmes there was a small dent on either side of your nose that could only be made by eyglasses
Your adresleves have purple belthe cuffs i can see a line a little above your wrist
Where a typers would press her arm against the table
I'm impressed
I said i also noticed that me sudtle ling must have left home at a hurry this morning
Because she is wearing two boots that do not match
Said holmes plus one boois fascced only at the first in second buttons and the other at the first third and fifth buttons
But never mind of this
It's my business to notice these things
Why have you come to consult me missattland looking a bit days by homeas powers of observation miss suttlbluurred out her reasons for appearing at our lodgings a friend recommended you
Because you found her husband
After the police had assumed he was dead
She replied
Oh
Mister holmes
I wish you could do the same for me
I have an income of one hundred pounds per year in addition to the money i make with my typewriter
I would give it all to know what has become a mister hosmarred angel
Why are you in such a hurry to come here this morning
Asked homes
Mister windodbank
That is my father would not go to the police
And he would not consult you said misththerland
He wouldn't do anything
And kept saying no harm had been done that made be be angry ry
I just ththrow on my things in came straight here
You and your father have different last names said homes
Mister windoder bank must be your stepfather
Yes
He is my stepfather
I call him my father
Although that sounds strange
Because he's only five years older than i am
And your mother is alive
Oh Yes
Mother's alive
And well i wasn't pleaswhen she married again
So soon after father's death
Especially
When she married a man fifteen years younger than herself miss southerland explained that her father had been a plumber with a profitable business with the help of the form
And her mother continued running the business
But when she married mister winddbank
He made her salad said missuththerland
He is in the wine business working for the importer's west house in marbbing a venchge street
He felt that the plumbing business was bneeath him socially did your mother and step father get a good price for the business
I asked they didn't get nearly as much as my father would have
If
If were alive
She replied
I expected homes to be impatient with these minor details
But he listened with the greatest concentration
Your own little income of one hundred pounds a year
She said homes did that come out of the pluming business
Oh No Sir
It was left to me by my uncle who
Who died in new zealand
I believe that a single woman can live quite nicely on sixty pounds a year said
Holmes yet between your inheritance and your typing income
You have more than that miss sutherlland explained that she could easily live on less than sixty pounds a year
But she handed over to her stepfather the four one hundred pounds plus her typing income
You must understand mister holmes that as long as i live at home
I don't want to be a burden to my parents
She said
Of course they only have that money
While i continue to live with them
You have made your position clear upsaid homes now tell us all about your connection to mister hossmmer angel a flush stall over a missettle's face
And she picked nervouly at the fringe on her jacket
I met him at the plumer's ball
She said
Mister winind bank did not want mother in me to go
He never likes me to go anywhere in fact
He gets quite angry
If i even suggest anything as innocent as a sunday school picnic
But i was determined to o what writed he have to keep me from enjoying myself
I can't understand his objection at all
I said
He said that the people at the ball would be beneath the socially sydney settland
And he tried to argue that i had nothing suitable to wear
But i had a new dress that i'd never even warn mister winind bbank finally stopped arguing with her
Only because his employers sent into frienance on business
So mother i went to the ball in the company of our former formin said mister setleland
And it was there that i met the gentleman called mister husmmer angel little fix
