Holmes has named five facts about the client’s life. Wilson leaps from his chair, admits that he worked his way up from shipbuilding, and asks how such things could possibly be known. Holmes begins to explain the visible evidence one point at a time, starting with the uneven development of the man’s hands and arms.

"Your hands, my dear sir.「あなたの手を見れば分かるよ。
Your right hand is quite a size larger than your left.右手が左手より優にひと回り大きいだろう。
You have worked with it, and the muscles are more developed."右手を使って働いてきたから、筋肉がよく発達しているのだ」
"Well, the snuff, then, and the Freemasonry?"「では、嗅ぎたばこと、フリーメイソンのほうは？」
"I won't insult your intelligence by telling you how I read that, especially as, rather against the strict rules of your order, you use an arc-and-compass breastpin."「どう読み取ったかなどと説明して、あなたの知性を侮るつもりはない。なにしろ結社の厳しい決まりにいささか背いて、弧とコンパスをかたどった胸ピンをつけているのだからね」
"Ah, of course, I forgot that.「ああ、そうか、それを忘れていました。
But the writing?"でも、書き物のほうは？」
"What else can be indicated by that right cuff so very shiny for five inches, and the left one with the smooth patch near the elbow where you rest it upon the desk?"「右の袖口が五インチにわたってあんなにてかてかに光り、左の袖には、机につくひじのあたりにすべすべした擦れがある。それが書き物のほかに何を示すというのかね？」
