Holmes begins his account of the morning. Disguised as an unemployed groom, he found Briony Lodge and carefully examined the building from outside. He then helped tend horses at a nearby stable. In return for his work, he says, he learned a great deal about Miss Adler from the men there.

"Quite so; but the sequel was rather unusual.「そのとおり。だが、その先の成り行きがかなり変わっていてね。
I will tell you, however.まあ、話して聞かせよう。
I left the house a little after eight o'clock this morning in the character of a groom out of work.今朝八時を少し過ぎたころ、私は職にあぶれた馬丁になりすまして家を出た。
There is a wonderful sympathy and freemasonry among horsey men.馬を扱う連中のあいだには、驚くほどの仲間意識と結束があるものだ。
Be one of them, and you will know all that there is to know.その一員になってしまえば、知るべきことはすべてわかる。
I soon found Briony Lodge.ブライオニー荘はすぐに見つかった。

Chubb lock to the door.扉にはチャブ錠。
Large sitting-room on the right side, well furnished, with long windows almost to the floor, and those preposterous English window fasteners which a child could open.右手に広い居間があり、家具は上等で、床近くまで届く縦長の窓がついている。窓の留め金は、子どもでも開けられるあのばかげたイギリス式だ。
Behind there was nothing remarkable, save that the passage window could be reached from the top of the coach-house.裏手には、馬車置き場の屋根から廊下の窓に手が届くという点を除けば、目立ったものは何もなかった。
I walked round it and examined it closely from every point of view, but without noting anything else of interest.家のまわりを歩いて、あらゆる角度からじっくり調べたが、ほかに気になる点は見当たらなかった。
"I then lounged down the street and found, as I expected, that there was a mews in a lane which runs down by one wall of the garden.「それから通りをぶらぶら下っていくと、思ったとおり、庭の塀の一方に沿って走る小路に厩舎があった。
I lent the ostlers a hand in rubbing down their horses, and received in exchange twopence, a glass of half-and-half, two fills of shag tobacco, and as much information as I could desire about Miss Adler, to say nothing of half a dozen other people in the neighbourhood in whom I was not in the least interested, but whose biographies I was compelled to listen to."馬丁たちの馬の手入れを手伝ってやると、お礼に二ペンスと、ハーフ・アンド・ハーフを一杯、刻みたばこを二服、それにアドラー嬢について知りたいことを好きなだけ教えてもらえた。おまけに、近所のほかの六人ほどについても、私はまるで興味がないのに、その身の上話を聞かされる羽目になったがね」
