Holmes and Watson have found Breckinridge, the dealer who supplied the Alpha Inn. Yet the moment Holmes asks about the source of the birds, the man becomes angry and refuses to tell him. Holmes remarks that such a small question hardly justifies the outburst, which only makes the dealer raise his voice further.

"Warm!「むきになる、だと！
You'd be as warm, maybe, if you were as pestered as I am.あんただって、俺くらいしつこく付きまとわれりゃ、同じくらい熱くなるだろうよ。
When I pay good money for a good article there should be an end of the business; but it's 'Where are the geese?' and 'Who did you sell the geese to?' and 'What will you take for the geese?'いい品物にまっとうな金を払ったら、取引はそれで終わりのはずだろうが、それが『ガチョウはどこだ？』だの『ガチョウを誰に売った？』だの『ガチョウをいくらで譲る？』だのと来やがる。
One would think they were the only geese in the world, to hear the fuss that is made over them."あの騒ぎようを聞いてりゃ、世の中にガチョウはあれしかいないのかと思っちまうよ」
"Well, I have no connection with any other people who have been making inquiries," said Holmes carelessly.「まあ、ほかに問い合わせてきた人たちと私は、なんの関係もありませんがね」とホームズは気のない様子で言った。
"If you won't tell us the bet is off, that is all.「教えてくれないのなら賭けはなし、それだけのことです。
But I'm always ready to back my opinion on a matter of fowls, and I have a fiver on it that the bird I ate is country bred."ですが、鳥のことなら私はいつでも自分の見立てに賭けますよ。私が食べた鳥は田舎育ちだというほうに、5 ポンド賭けているのでね」
"Well, then, you've lost your fiver, for it's town bred," snapped the salesman.「なら、あんたの 5 ポンドは負けだ。あれは町育ちだからな」と商人はかみつくように言った。
"It's nothing of the kind."「そんなはずはありませんよ」
"I say it is."「町育ちだと言ってるだろうが」
"I don't believe it."「信じませんね」
