Holmes orders two glasses of beer from its red-faced landlord and casually brings up the subject of geese. This landlord is the man who organized the goose club for Henry Baker and the other members.

"My geese!"「うちのガチョウですって！」
The man seemed surprised.主人は驚いたようだった。
"Yes.「ええ。

"Indeed!「なんと！

"Well, I got the two dozen from a salesman in Covent Garden."「いえね、二ダースをコヴェント・ガーデンの商人から仕入れたんですよ」
