Explanation:

The short story "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" is one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series. The story revolves, as usual, around the mysterious case of murder which Sherlock Holmes and Watson tries to solve.

But the weird part about this particular bell was that it was "a dummy", and "it is not even attached to a wire.[. . .] it is fastened to a hook just above where the little opening for the ventilator is." This means that the bell was just a means for something else other than summoning the housekeeper.
