(probable = waarschijnlijk)
How entertaining is the ending? 
0 = not entertaining; 5 = very entertaining

Slide 25 - Slide

P. Listen to the story ending.
Listen carefully to the ending of the story. While listening write down the answers to the questions.
1. Where did the blood-stained fingerprint come from?
2. How did Holmes know about the hidden room?
3. Why did Oldacre do it?
4. Who is Mr Cornelius?

Slide 26 - Slide

KEY 1. blood-stained fingerprint
Oldacre had made McFarlane seal the documents with a wax seal, ensuring that he had an impression of his fingerprint. He then made an impression of that impression to recreate the fingerpint. Then, he cut himself and used his own blood to make a bloody fingerpint on the wall.
KEY 2. The hidden room
Holmes knew that Oldacre was hiding in the house if the blood-stained print was new. He measured the house by pacing up and down the garden, then pacing up and down the corridor. This way, he realized that the corridor was shorter than it should have been. Oldacre's building skills would have made putting in a hidden room easy for him.

Slide 27 - Slide

KEY 3. Why did Oldacre do it?
Mr Oldacre owed a lot of money to people. If everyone thought he was dead, he wouldn't have to pay them back. He tried to take revenge on McFarlane's mother for refusing to marry him thirty years before by making it look like her son had committed the murder.
KEY 4. Who is Mr Cornelius?
Mr Cornelius is Jonas Oldacre. He created a false identity so that he could move to a different area and start life again, taking his money with him.
