Could the photograph have been entrusted to a banker or a lawyer? Holmes examines these two possibilities in turn and explains his own view. Watson interrupts to point out that burglars have already entered the house twice. Holmes has a firm and immediate answer to that objection as well, without hesitation.

"Her banker or her lawyer.「銀行家か、弁護士か。
There is that double possibility.その二つの可能性はある。
But I am inclined to think neither.だが、私はどちらでもないと思う。
Women are naturally secretive, and they like to do their own secreting.女性は生まれつき秘密を好むもので、隠し事は自分の手でしたがる。
Why should she hand it over to anyone else?どうしてわざわざ他人に預けたりするだろう？
She could trust her own guardianship, but she could not tell what indirect or political influence might be brought to bear upon a business man.自分で守るぶんには信用できるが、商売人に預ければ、どんな間接的な、あるいは政治的な圧力がかけられるか知れたものではない。
Besides, remember that she had resolved to use it within a few days.それに、彼女が数日のうちに写真を使うと決めていたことを思い出してほしい。
It must be where she can lay her hands upon it.すぐに手の届くところにあるはずだ。
It must be in her own house."自宅にあるに違いない」
"But it has twice been burgled."「でも、あの家は二度も泥棒に入られているよ」
"Pshaw!「ふん！
They did not know how to look."探し方を知らなかっただけだよ」
