“Which of you is Holmes?”, the man shouted.
“That is my name, sir,” answered my friend. “Now what is yours?”
“I am Dr. Grimesby Roylott of Stoke Moran.”
“Please take a seat, Doctor,” said Holmes.
“I will not!” Dr. Roylott shouted. “My stepdaughter has been here. What did she tell you?”
“The weather has been nice this year.” Holmes calmly replied.
“You will not distract me! I know who you are. You are Holmes the meddler! Holmes the busybody!”
Holmes laughed as he said, “you are very entertaining my dear doctor. Please close the door when you leave.”
“I will leave when I have finished! Do not interfere in my affairs. I am a very dangerous man and you will regret it!” Dr. Roylott shouted as he stormed out of the room.
When that brute finally left the room, Holmes laughed. “What a delightful gentleman!” Holmes chuckled. “I just hope that Miss Stoner is safe.”
“Anyways, let’s order breakfast, Watson. Then I shall walk downtown. I’ll need some facts before we do anything else.”
It was one o’clock when Holmes got back. He had a blue paper in his hand. It had notes and numbers all over it.
“I have seen the will of Dr. Roylott’s wife,” he said. “She left a thousand pounds, all right. But each girl was to get two hundred and fifty pounds when she got married. If the girls died before getting married, Roylott would get all the money. So you see why Dr. Roylott wanted Julia and Helen dead.”
