Holmes suggests that a hundred pounds a year, added to her wages, should let Mary travel and live comfortably. She replies that while she remains at home, her family uses that income, and she describes what she earns by typing. Once the household finances are clear, Holmes introduces Watson and invites Mary to begin the central story.

"You interest me extremely," said Holmes.「たいへん興味深いお話です」とホームズは言った。
"And since you draw so large a sum as a hundred a year, with what you earn into the bargain, you no doubt travel a little and indulge yourself in every way.「年に百ポンドという大きな額を受け取り、そのうえ仕事の収入もあるのですから、きっと少しは旅行をなさったり、いろいろお好きなことを楽しんだりしているのでしょう。
I believe that a single lady can get on very nicely upon an income of about £ 60."独身の女性なら、年に六十ポンドほどの収入でも、十分に暮らせると思います」
"I could do with much less than that, Mr. Holmes, but you understand that as long as I live at home I don't wish to be a burden to them, and so they have the use of the money just while I am staying with them.「ホームズさん、私はそれよりずっと少なくてもやっていけます。でも、家にいる間は家族の負担になりたくないので、一緒に住んでいる間だけ、そのお金を使ってもらっています。
Of course, that is only just for the time.もちろん、あくまでその間だけです。
Mr. Windibank draws my interest every quarter and pays it over to mother, and I find that I can do pretty well with what I earn at typewriting.ウィンディバンクさんが四半期ごとに私の利子を受け取り、母に渡しています。私はタイプを打って稼ぐお金で、かなりうまくやっていけるんです。
It brings me twopence a sheet, and I can often do from fifteen to twenty sheets in a day."一枚二ペンスになって、一日に十五枚から二十枚は打てることも多いんです」
"You have made your position very clear to me," said Holmes.「あなたの立場は、たいへんよく分かりました」とホームズは言った。
"This is my friend, Dr. Watson, before whom you can speak as freely as before myself.「こちらは友人で医師のワトソンです。私に対してと同じように、遠慮なくお話しくださって構いません。
Kindly tell us now all about your connection with Mr. Hosmer Angel."では、ホズマー・エンジェルさんとの関わりについて、すべてお聞かせください」
