The address proves to be an artificial-kneecap factory, and no one there knows Morris or Ross. Defeated, Wilson returns home and asks Spaulding for advice. The assistant can only suggest waiting for a letter. Unable to accept that answer, Wilson concludes his story by explaining why he has brought the mystery to Holmes.

"I went home to Saxe-Coburg Square, and I took the advice of my assistant.「それでサックス・コバーグ・スクエアの家に戻って、助手に相談してみたんです。
But he could not help me in any way.でも、あいつにもどうにもできませんでした。
He could only say that if I waited I should hear by post.待っていればそのうち郵便で知らせが来るでしょう、と言うばかりでして。
But that was not quite good enough, Mr. Holmes.ですが、それではどうにも気がすまないんですよ、ホームズさん。
I did not wish to lose such a place without a struggle, so, as I had heard that you were good enough to give advice to poor folk who were in need of it, I came right away to you."あれほどの勤め口を、何もせずに手放すのはいやでしたし、それに、困っている貧乏人にも親切に助言をしてくださる方だと聞いておりましたので、すぐさまこちらへ伺ったというわけです」
"And you did very wisely," said Holmes.「それはまことに賢明だった」とホームズは言った。
"Your case is an exceedingly remarkable one, and I shall be happy to look into it.「あなたの件はきわめて珍しいものだから、喜んで調べさせてもらおう。
From what you have told me I think that it is possible that graver issues hang from it than might at first sight appear."今うかがった話からすると、この件には、一見して思うよりも重大なことがかかっているのかもしれない」
