Mary’s account wanders from one subject to another, yet Holmes listens with unexpected concentration. He asks about the small income that belongs to her personally and whether it came from her father’s business. Mary names an uncle who once lived in Auckland, New Zealand, and explains the source and conditions of the money.

I had expected to see Sherlock Holmes impatient under this rambling and inconsequential narrative, but, on the contrary, he had listened with the greatest concentration of attention.このとりとめのない脈絡に乏しい話に、シャーロック・ホームズはいら立つだろうと思っていたが、逆に彼は、この上なく注意を集中して聞いていた。
"Your own little income," he asked, "does it come out of the business?"「あなたご自身の収入は、その商売から得られるのですか」と彼は尋ねた。
"Oh, no, sir.「いいえ、違います。
It is quite separate and was left me by my uncle Ned in Auckland.それとはまったく別で、オークランドにいたネッド叔父が残してくれたものです。
It is in New Zealand stock, paying 4½ per cent.ニュージーランドの証券にしてあって、四パーセント半の利子が付きます。
Two thousand five hundred pounds was the amount, but I can only touch the interest."額は二千五百ポンドでしたが、私が使えるのは利子だけです」
