what's he doing? Why can't he write me a letter? Oh, I'm so unhappy!
Homes thought about her story.
That was very unkind, he said
Oh, but he'skind, Mr Holmes. That morming he said to me
again, "Strange things happen, but I'll always love you. I will
marry you." Now I understand . He Wasafraind of something. And
he was right! Something bad happend to him- I know it!
But what? Holmes asked
I don't know.Miss Sutherland said sadly.
Wasyour mother angrys?
Yes. She doesn't want to hear Hosmer's name again
And you told Mr Windibank abaout it?
Yes, she answered. Father doesn't uunderstand it. He wants me
to forget about Hosmer. But he thinks that he'll come back to
me. Why does a man leave a woman at the doors of the church,
Mr,Holmes? Hosmer didn't have my money.He never asked me
for money. He really wanted to marry me. But where is he now?
And why can't he write to me? Ithink about it day and ninght,
Mr Holmes. I can't sleep.
Miss Sutherland began to cry.
I'll find the answer to your questions, Holmes said. But pleaseforget Mr Hosmer Angel.
Will I see him again? she asked.
I'm sorry- no, you won't. Have you got his letters? Can you
give them to me?

advertisement. I'm put it in last Saturday's newspaper.
Thank you. What's your address?

And what's the name of Mr Windibank's company? Holmes
asked.
