Bellingham trzyma mumię w swoim pokoju i nazwa ją Lot 249, bo tak brzmiały słowa, którymi określano ją podczas licytacji. Przez kilka następnych tygodni Smithowi często przeszkadzają odgłosy bełkotu i mamrotania z pokoju Bellinghama. Dozorca budynku, Thomas Styles, zwierza się Smithowi, że słyszał, jak coś chodzi po pokoju Bellinghama, gdy Bellingham jest poza domem. Niedługo potem student o imieniu Long Norton, do którego Bellingham ma od zadawnioną urazę, zostaje brutalnie zaatakowany przez tajemniczą i pozornie nieludzką postać. A co było dalej czytelnik dowie się po lekturze opowiadania. Zachęcamy!

Dworek w Hampshire. The Adventure of the Copper Beeches
Arthur Conan Doyle
Książka w dwóch wersjach językowych: polskiej i angielskiej. A dual Polish-English language edition. Panna Violet Hunter odwiedza Holmesa z zapytaniem, czy powinna zaakceptować propozycję pracy guwernantki, opartą na dość dziwnych warunkach. Kuszącym aspektem jest suma wypłaty, początkowo oferowane jest jej 100 funtów rocznie, by potem wzrosnąć do 120, gdy panna Hunter odmawia obcięcia swoich długich włosów (jej poprzednia pensja wynosiła 48 funtów rocznie). Jest to jedno z wielu osobliwych wymagań, które musi zaakceptować. Pracodawca, Jephro Rucastle, wydaje się być uprzejmym człowiekiem, jednakże panna Hunter nie jest pozbawiona podejrzeń wobec jego osoby. Postanawia jednak przyjąć pracę, o czym zawiadamia Holmesa. Holmes odpowiada, iż jeśli będzie potrzebny, wystarczy, że Violet przyśle mu telegram z Hampshire, gdzie mieści się gospodarstwo pana Rucastle, Copper Beeches. Po dwóch tygodniach Holmes otrzymuje wiadomość, w której panna Hunter błaga go o przyjazd do Winchester. Opowiada jemu oraz Watsonowi jedną z najbardziej niezwykłych historii, jakie słyszeli.
