Holmes and Watson have the railway compartment to themselves. Holmes works through a heap of newspapers, taking notes and pausing to think. Around the time they pass Reading, their conversation turns to the case ahead. Watson has not been reading the papers, so Holmes prepares to explain the circumstances he has gathered from the reports.

We had the carriage to ourselves save for an immense litter of papers which Holmes had brought with him.ホームズが持ち込んだ大量の新聞が散らかっているのを除けば、客室は私たちの貸し切りだった。
Among these he rummaged and read, with intervals of note-taking and of meditation, until we were past Reading.彼はその山をかき回しては読み、時折メモを取ったり考え込んだりして、レディングを過ぎるまでそうしていた。
Then he suddenly rolled them all into a gigantic ball and tossed them up onto the rack.やがて突然、それらを全部大きな玉に丸め、上の荷物棚へ放り上げた。
"Have you heard anything of the case?" he asked.「事件について何か聞いているかい」と彼は尋ねた。
"Not a word.「一言も。
I have not seen a paper for some days."ここ何日か、新聞を見ていないんだ」
"The London press has not had very full accounts.「ロンドンの新聞には、あまり詳しい報道が載っていない。
I have just been looking through all the recent papers in order to master the particulars.細かな事情を把握するために、最近の新聞をすべて調べていたところだ。
It seems, from what I gather, to be one of those simple cases which are so extremely difficult."分かったことからすると、実に難しい、単純な事件というものの一つらしい」
"That sounds a little paradoxical."「少し矛盾した話に聞こえるね」
