Holmes acknowledges Wilson’s dissatisfaction and promises that they will try to uncover the truth about the mysterious League. Before offering any conclusion, he says that he must ask one or two questions. Wilson straightens himself and waits. Holmes’s brief, rapid questions turn away from the office and toward the assistant who first found the advertisement.

"We shall endeavour to clear up these points for you.「そうした点は、私たちが解き明かすよう努めるとしよう。
And, first, one or two questions, Mr. Wilson.まずは、一つ二つ質問させてもらうよ、ウィルソンさん。
This assistant of yours who first called your attention to the advertisement—how long had he been with you?"あの広告に最初にあなたの目を向けさせた助手だが――そのとき、彼はあなたのところに来てどのくらいだったのかね？」
"About a month then."「その時で、ひと月ほどでした」
"How did he come?"「どういういきさつで来たのかね？」
"In answer to an advertisement."「求人広告に応募してきたんです」
"Was he the only applicant?"「応募してきたのは彼ひとりかね？」
"No, I had a dozen."「いいえ、十二人ほど来ました」
"Why did you pick him?"「なぜ彼を選んだのかね？」
"Because he was handy and would come cheap."「気が利くうえに、安い給金で来てくれるというもんでして」
