      machine�察�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�拭─�asked

      Sherlock Holmes�察�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�察�I did bang out of the house�察─�she

      said�察 �for it made me angry to see the easy way in which Mr。

      Windibankthat is�察�my fathertook it all。  He would not go to

      the police�察�and he would not go to you�察�and so at last�察�as he

      would do nothing and kept on saying that there was no harm done��

      it made me mad�察�and I just on with my things and came right away

      to you。;



          ;Your father�察─�said Holmes�察 �your stepfather�察�surely�察�since

      the name is different。;



          ;Yes�察�my stepfather。  I call him father�察�though it sounds

      funny�察�too�察�for he is only five years and two months older than

      myself。;



          ;And your mother is alive�拭�



          ;Oh�察�yes�察�mother is alive and well。  I wasn't best pleased��

      Mr。 Holmes�察�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�察�and he left a

      tidy business behind him�察�which mother carried on with Mr。 Hardy��

      the foreman�察�but when Mr。 Windibank came he made her sell the

      business�察�for he was very superior�察�being a traveller in wines。

      They got 4700 pounds for the goodwill and interest�察�which wasn't near as

      much as father could have got if he had been alive。;



          I had expected to see Sherlock Holmes impatient under this

      rambling and inconsequential narrative�察�but�察�on the contrary�察�he

      had listened with the greatest concentration of attention。



          ;Your own little income�察─�he asked�察 �does it come out of the

      business�拭�



          ;Oh�察�no�察�sir。  It is quite separate and was left me by my

      uncle Ned in Auckland。  It is in New Zealand stock�察�paying 4 1/2 per

      cent。  Two thousand five hundred pounds was the amount�察�but I can

      only touch the interest。;



          ;You interest me extremely�察─�said Holmes。  ;And since you draw

      so large a sum as a hundred a year�察�with what you earn into the

      bargain�察�you no doubt travel a little and indulge yourself in

      every way。  I believe that a single lady can get on very nicely

      upon an income of about 60 pounds。;



          ;I could do with much less than that�察�Mr。 Holmes�察�but you

      understand that as long as I live at home I don't wish to be a

      burden to them�察�and so they have the use of the money just while I

      am staying with them。  Of course�察�that is only just for the time。

      Mr。 Windibank draws my interest every quarter and pays it over to

      mother�察�and I find that I can do pretty well with what I earn at

      typewriting。  It brings me twopence a sheet�察�and I can often do

      from fifteen to twenty sheets in a day。;



          ;You have made your position very clear to me�察─�said Holmes。

      ;This is my friend�察�Dr。 Watson�察�before whom you can speak as

      freely as before myself。  Kindly tell us now all about your

      connection with Mr。 Hosmer Angel。;



          A flush stole over Miss Sutherland's face�察�and she picked

      nervously at the fringe of her jacket。  ;I met him first at the

      gasfitters' ball�察─�she said。  ;They used to send father tickets

      when he was alive�察�and then afterwards they remembered us�察�and

      sent them to mother。  Mr。 Windibank did not wish us to go。  He

      never did wish us to go anywhere。  He would get quite mad if I

      wanted so much as to join a Sunday´school treat。  But this time I

      was set on going�察�and I would go�察�for what right had he to

      prevent�拭 �He said the folk were not fit for us to know�察�when all

      father's friends were to be there。  And he said that I had nothing

      fit to wear�察�when I had my purple plush that I had never so much

      as taken out of the drawer。  At last�察�when nothing else would do��

      he went off to France upon the business of the firm�察�but we went��

      mohther and I�察�with Mr。 Hardy�察�who used to be our foreman�察�and it

      was there I met Mr。 Hosmer Angel。;



          ;I suppose�察─�said Holmes�察 �that when Mr。 Windibank came back

      from France he was very annoyed at your having gone to the ball。;



          ;Oh�察�well�察�he was very good about it。  He laughed�察�I remember��

      and shrugged his shoulders�察�and said there was no use denying

      anything to a woman�察�for she would have her way。;



          ;I see。  Then at the gasfitters' ball you met�察�as I

      understand�察�a gentleman called Mr。 Hosmer Angel。;



          ;Yes�察�sir。  I met him that night�察�and he called next day to

      ask if we had got home all safe�察�and after that we met himthat

      is to say�察�Mr。 Holmes�察�I met him twice for walks�察�but after that

      father came back again�察�and Mr。 Hosmer Angel could not come to the

      house any more。;



          ;No�拭�



          ;Well�察�you know�察�father didn't like anything of the sort。  He

      wouldn't have any visitors if he could help it�察�and he used to say

      that a woman should be happy in her own family circle。  But then��

      as I used to say to mother�察�a woman wants her own circle to begin

      with�察�and I had not got mine yet。;



          ;But how about Mr。 Hosmer Angel�拭 �Did he make no attempt to

      see you�拭�



          ;Well�察�father was going off to France again in a week�察�and

      Hosmer wrote and said that it would be safer and better not to see

      each other until he had gone。  We could write in the meantime�察�and

      he used to write every day。  I took the letters in in the morning��

      so there was no need for father to know。;



          ;Were you engaged to the gentleman at this time�拭�



          ;Oh�察�yes�察�Mr。 Holmes。  We were engaged after the first walk

      that we took。  HosmerMr。 Angelwas a cashier in an office in

      Leadenhall Streetand;



          ;What office�拭�



          ;That's the worst of it�察�Mr。 Holmes�察�I don't know。;



          ;Where did he live�察�then�拭�



          ;He slept on the premises。;



          ;And you don't know his address�拭�



          ;Noexcept that it was Leadenhall Street。;



          ;Where did you address your letters�察�then�拭�



          ;To the Leadenhall Street Post´Office�察�to be left till called

      for。  He said that if they were sent to the office he would be

      chaffed by all the other clerks about having letters from a lady��

      so I offered to typewrite them�察�like he did his�察�but he wouldn't

      have that�察�for he said that when I wrote them they seemed to come

      from me�察�but when they were typewritten he always felt that the

      machine had come between us。  That will just show you how fond he

      was of me�察�Mr。 Holmes�察�and the little things that he would think

      of。;



          ;It was most suggestive�察─�said Holmes。  ;It has long been an

      axiom of mine that the little things are infinitley the most

      important。  Can you remember any other little things about Mr。

      Hosmer Angel�拭�



          ;He was a very shy man�察�Mr。 Holmes。  He would rather walk with

      me in the evening than in the daylight�察�for he said that he hated

      to be conspicuous。  Very retiring and gentelmanly he was。  Even

      his voice was gentle。  He'd had the quinsy and swollen glands when

      he was young�察�he told me�察�and it had left him with a weak throat��

      and a hesitating�察�whispering fashion of speech。  He was always

      well dressed�察�very neat and plain�察�but his eyes were weak�察�just as

      mine are�察�and he wore tinted glasses against the glare。;
