    "I'm not cold," the woman replied,"I fear for my life!"
    "We are here to help you. Don't worry about anything. I don't know you. But I know many things about you. For example, I know how you travel. You came to London by train. You also rode to the train station on a horse﹣drawn wagon (马车)."
    "Why,yes. You're right. But how do you know these things?"I see a return ticket in your glove. I see fresh mud on the left arm of your dress. Now tell us your problem."
    "My name is Helen Stoner," she stated,"My mother and father are dead. I am living with my stepfather, Dr. Grimesby Roylott. He comes from a rich family. But they are no longer rich. They have nothing except a small piece of land and a huge old house. We are living in the house. Dr. Roylott is using my mother's money for everyday expenses. Part of it was for my sister and me. It was for our marriages."

    "He has no friends at all?"asked Holmes.
    "No. He talks to no one except the gypsies (吉卜赛人).They are poor people who keep traveling from place to place. A band of gypsies are staying on our land right now."
    "Are you and your sister afraid of the gypsies?"
