When Wilson and Spaulding reach the advertised address, red-haired men crowd every direction. Fleet Street is filled with shades ranging from straw and lemon to brick and clay. Wilson nearly abandons the attempt when he sees the numbers, but his assistant pushes through the crowd and guides him up the stairs into the office.

"I never hope to see such a sight as that again, Mr. Holmes.「あんな光景は、もう二度と見られないでしょうね、ホームズさん。
From north, south, east, and west every man who had a shade of red in his hair had tramped into the city to answer the advertisement.北から、南から、東から、西から、髪にちょっとでも赤みのある男という男が、あの広告に応えようと、町の中心まで歩いて押し寄せてきたんです。
Fleet Street was choked with red-headed folk, and Pope's Court looked like a coster's orange barrow.フリート街は赤毛の連中でぎっしり埋まり、ポープス・コートはまるで、オレンジを山積みにした行商人の手押し車みたいでした。
I should not have thought there were so many in the whole country as were brought together by that single advertisement.あのたった一つの広告で集まった数ほど、国じゅうに赤毛がいるとは思ってもみませんでした。
Every shade of colour they were—straw, lemon, orange, brick, Irish-setter, liver, clay; but, as Spaulding said, there were not many who had the real vivid flame-coloured tint.色合いもさまざまで、麦わら色、レモン色、オレンジ色、れんが色、アイリッシュ・セッター色、レバー色、粘土色とありましたが、スポールディングの言ったとおり、本物の鮮やかな炎の色をした者はそう多くありませんでした。
When I saw how many were waiting, I would have given it up in despair; but Spaulding would not hear of it.待っている人の多さを見て、私はがっかりしてあきらめかけましたが、スポールディングが承知しませんでした。
How he did it I could not imagine, but he pushed and pulled and butted until he got me through the crowd, and right up to the steps which led to the office.どうやったのか見当もつきませんが、あいつは押したり引いたり頭で突いたりして私を人ごみの中に通し、事務所へ上がる階段の前まで連れていってくれたんです。
There was a double stream upon the stair, some going up in hope, and some coming back dejected; but we wedged in as well as we could and soon found ourselves in the office."階段には上りと下りの二筋の流れができていて、望みを抱いて上がっていく者もいれば、しょんぼりして下りてくる者もいましたが、私たちはなんとか割り込んで、まもなく事務所の中に入っていました」
"Your experience has been a most entertaining one," remarked Holmes as his client paused and refreshed his memory with a huge pinch of snuff.「なんとも愉快なご経験だ」と、依頼人が話を止めて嗅ぎたばこをたっぷりひとつまみ吸い、記憶を呼び覚ますのを見て、ホームズが言った。
"Pray continue your very interesting statement."「どうぞ、そのたいへん興味深いお話の続きを」
