Perhaps I am very stupid, Holmes, but I don't see why this discovery is interesting.
Listen, Holmes said. Captain Morstan disappeared. He had one friend in London-Major Sholto. But Major Sholto said that he didn't know that Captain Morstan was in London. Four years later, on 28th April 1882, Sholto dided . A few days later, on 4th May 1882, Captain Morstan's daughter saw the advertisement in a newspaper. Then, she received a valuable present. These presents came every year. They must have something to do with Sholtto's death.
