Before going to Sarasate’s concert, Holmes takes Watson toward the City. After leaving the Underground, they walk to Saxe-Coburg Square, the setting of the strange story they heard that morning and the location of Wilson’s pawnbroker’s shop. Holmes stops outside the premises and begins carefully examining the surroundings for himself.

We travelled by the Underground as far as Aldersgate; and a short walk took us to Saxe-Coburg Square, the scene of the singular story which we had listened to in the morning.私たちは地下鉄でオールダーズゲートまで行き、そこから少し歩いて、朝に聞いたあの奇妙な話の舞台、サックス・コバーグ・スクエアに着いた。
It was a poky, little, shabby-genteel place, where four lines of dingy two-storied brick houses looked out into a small railed-in enclosure, where a lawn of weedy grass and a few clumps of faded laurel bushes made a hard fight against a smoke-laden and uncongenial atmosphere.そこは狭苦しく、ちっぽけで、落ちぶれながらも体裁だけはつくろった場所で、くすんだ二階建てのれんがの家が四方に並んで、柵に囲まれた小さな空き地を見下ろしており、その空き地では、雑草まじりの芝生と、色あせた月桂樹の茂みがいくつか、煤煙を含んだ肌に合わない空気を相手に、苦しい戦いを続けていた。
Three gilt balls and a brown board with "JABEZ WILSON" in white letters, upon a corner house, announced the place where our red-headed client carried on his business.角の一軒には、金色の玉が三つと、白い文字で「ジェイベズ・ウィルソン」と書かれた茶色の看板が掲げられ、そこが赤毛の依頼人の商う店であることを示していた。
Sherlock Holmes stopped in front of it with his head on one side and looked it all over, with his eyes shining brightly between puckered lids.シャーロック・ホームズはその前で立ち止まって首をかしげ、細めたまぶたのあいだから目をきらきらと光らせながら、店をくまなく眺めた。
Then he walked slowly up the street, and then down again to the corner, still looking keenly at the houses.それから彼は通りをゆっくりと歩いて行き、また角まで戻ってきたが、そのあいだも家々を鋭く見つめ続けていた。
Finally he returned to the pawnbroker's, and, having thumped vigorously upon the pavement with his stick two or three times, he went up to the door and knocked.最後に彼は質屋の前に戻ると、ステッキで歩道を二、三度強く叩いてから、戸口へ歩み寄ってノックした。
It was instantly opened by a bright-looking, clean-shaven young fellow, who asked him to step in.ドアはすぐに開き、利口そうな顔つきの、ひげをきれいに剃った若い男が、どうぞ中へと彼を招いた。
