Mr. Wilson proudly draws a crumpled newspaper from his coat and searches its advertising columns. While he looks, Watson imitates Holmes and studies the visitor’s clothing and appearance for clues. His effort reveals only an ordinary, stout tradesman in shabby clothes. The striking features are the man’s blazing red hair and his deeply dissatisfied expression.

The portly client puffed out his chest with an appearance of some little pride and pulled a dirty and wrinkled newspaper from the inside pocket of his greatcoat.恰幅のいい依頼人はいささか得意げに胸を張り、外套の内ポケットから、汚れてしわくちゃになった新聞を引っぱり出した。
As he glanced down the advertisement column, with his head thrust forward and the paper flattened out upon his knee, I took a good look at the man and endeavoured, after the fashion of my companion, to read the indications which might be presented by his dress or appearance.彼が首を前に突き出し、膝の上に新聞を広げて広告欄に目を走らせているあいだに、私はその男をじっくり眺め、友人のやり方にならって、服装や外見に表れている手がかりを読み取ろうとした。
I did not gain very much, however, by my inspection.だが、観察してみても大した収穫はなかった。
Our visitor bore every mark of being an average commonplace British tradesman, obese, pompous, and slow.客はどこから見ても、太っていて、もったいぶっていて、鈍そうな、ありふれたイギリスの商人そのものだった。
He wore rather baggy grey shepherd's check trousers, a not over-clean black frock-coat, unbuttoned in the front, and a drab waistcoat with a heavy brassy Albert chain, and a square pierced bit of metal dangling down as an ornament.身につけているのは、だぶついた灰色の細かい格子縞のズボンに、前をはだけた、あまり清潔とはいえない黒のフロックコート、そしてくすんだ色のチョッキで、チョッキには真鍮めいた重いアルバート型の時計鎖と、飾りに下げた穴あきの四角い金属片がぶら下がっていた。
A frayed top-hat and a faded brown overcoat with a wrinkled velvet collar lay upon a chair beside him.すり切れたシルクハットと、しわの寄ったビロードの襟がついた色あせた茶色のオーバーが、彼のそばの椅子に置いてあった。
Altogether, look as I would, there was nothing remarkable about the man save his blazing red head, and the expression of extreme chagrin and discontent upon his features.結局、どれほど見ても、この男に目立つところといえば、燃えるような赤い頭と、顔に浮かんだひどく悔しげで不満そうな表情くらいのものだった。
