What kind of man was Hosmer Angel? Mary remembers him as very shy and more willing to walk in the evening than in daylight. One by one, she describes his voice, his eyes, and his clothes. When she finishes, Holmes asks what happened after her stepfather once again departed for France.

"He was a very shy man, Mr. Holmes.「とても内気な方でした、ホームズさん。
He would rather walk with me in the evening than in the daylight, for he said that he hated to be conspicuous.目立つのが嫌いだと言って、昼間より夕方に私と歩きたがりました。
Very retiring and gentlemanly he was.たいへん控えめで、紳士的な方でした。
Even his voice was gentle.声まで穏やかでした。
He'd had the quinsy and swollen glands when he was young, he told me, and it had left him with a weak throat, and a hesitating, whispering fashion of speech.若い頃にひどい喉の炎症とリンパ節の腫れを患い、それで喉が弱くなり、ためらうような、ささやくような話し方になったのだと、私に言っていました。
He was always well dressed, very neat and plain, but his eyes were weak, just as mine are, and he wore tinted glasses against the glare."いつもきちんとした服装で、たいへん小ぎれいで質素でしたが、私と同じく目が弱く、まぶしさを避けるため色付き眼鏡を掛けていました」
"Well, and what happened when Mr. Windibank, your stepfather, returned to France?"「では、継父のウィンディバンクさんが再びフランスへ行くと、何が起きましたか」
