Holmes completes a short advertisement addressed to the owner of the hat and goose, then asks Peterson to place it in the evening papers. The commissionaire wants to know exactly which papers he should visit. Meanwhile, the blue stone taken from the goose's crop is still lying on the table before them.
"In which, sir?"「どの新聞にです、旦那？」
"Oh, in the Globe, Star, Pall Mall, St. James's Gazette, Evening News, Standard, Echo, and any others that occur to you."「ああ、グローブ紙、スター紙、ポール・モール紙、セント・ジェイムズ・ガゼット紙、イヴニング・ニューズ紙、スタンダード紙、エコー紙、それにほかに思いつくものなら何でもいい」
"Very well, sir.「かしこまりました、旦那。
And this stone?"それで、この石は？」
"Ah, yes, I shall keep the stone.「ああ、そうだ、石は私が預かっておく。
Thank you.ありがとう。
