the address of her stepfather's office and repeated his advice.,,I shall be true to Hosmer," she answered and left. Holmes then had a closer look at both the advertisement and the letters. The advertisement stated that Mr Angel had a moustache and wore tinted glasses. Looking at the letters he noticed that even the signature of Hosmer was type-written, and so he decided to write two letters that would settle the matter - one to the firm in the city and another one to Mr Windibank, inviting him for a small talk the following evening. The next day I came and asked him: ,,Have you solved it?"Catch the man and let me know." Mr Windibank sprang from his chair intending to leave. ,,But I've already caught him," Sherlock replied with a calm satisfaction easily heard in his voice.But Sherlock didn't manage to answer my question because Mr James Windibank, the girl's stepfather, entered the room.

The next day I came and asked him: „Have you solved it?” „Oh, yes!” „Who was he then, and what did he want with Miss Sutherland?” But Sherlock didn’t manage to answer my question because Mr James Windibank, the girl’s stepfather, entered the room. „Good evening Mr Windibank. I have received a type-written letter from you confirming today’s visit. As you know, your daughter asked me to help in finding her fiancé. And I have every reason to believe that I will succeed in discovering this mystery.” „I’m delighted to hear it,” he said rather angrily. „There is a very interesting thing I would like to draw your attention to. In the letter you sent me I found that the ‘r’ is slightly unclear, as well as there being a mark over every ‘e’. „That is the type-machine from the office,” he said nervously. „But what is really interesting is that there are exactly the same marks on the letters typed by Mr Angel.” „I cannot waste my time over such ridiculous talk, Mr Holmes. Catch the man and let me know.” Mr Windibank sprang from his chair intending to leave. „But I’ve already caught him,” Sherlock replied with a calm satisfaction easily heard in his voice. Then he explained to us both the whole mystery.
