Quelles choses étranges Sherlock Holmes voient-ils dans la chambre d'helen ?

Puis-je répondre en anglais? Si tu ne comprends pas,
dites-moi et je répondrai encore une fois en
français.


Holmes and Watson do not go into Helen’s room.
They go into the sister’s former room where Helen is now sleeping and they discover some
strange things. First, they notice that there is a bell rope on the ceiling that is
supposed to be used for calling a butler. However, when they pull the rope, they realize
that it is fake. It is not attached to anything and does not ring any bell. Next, they
notice a ventilator in the room. Holmes decides he and Watson must spend the night in
Helen’s room because they suspect her stepfather is planning some evil deed. So, Holmes
and Watson then spend the night in the room where Helen is now
sleeping (her sister’s former room). Helen has not been sleeping in her original room
because her stepfather has told her he needs to make some repairs, which is a ploy to
get her out of her room and into her sister’s former room. At the end of the story, the
reader learns that the rope is for the poisonous snake to crawl down through the
ventilator, bite the girls and kill them. Holmes suspects this and when he hears the
snake hiss, jumps up, hits it, it flees up the rope through the ventilator and bites the
stepfather, killing him. Elementary, my dear
Watson!


Ooops........sorry.........two teachers must have
been working on the answer to this at the same time.
