Holmes remarks that the cellar seems difficult to penetrate from above. Merryweather responds by striking the stone floor with his stick. Holmes immediately rebukes him, then takes the lantern and magnifying glass and kneels to inspect the paving. Offended by the sharp words, Merryweather sits down on one of the wooden boxes.

"Nor from below," said Mr. Merryweather, striking his stick upon the flags which lined the floor.「下からも同じことです」とメリーウェザー氏は言い、床に敷きつめた板石をステッキで叩いた。
"Why, dear me, it sounds quite hollow!" he remarked, looking up in surprise.「おや、これは、まるで中ががらんどうのような音がしますぞ！」と彼は驚いて顔を上げながら言った。
"I must really ask you to be a little more quiet!" said Holmes severely.「頼むから、もう少し静かにしていただきたい！」とホームズは厳しく言った。
"You have already imperilled the whole success of our expedition.「あなたはもう、今回の遠征の成功を丸ごと危うくしてしまいました。
Might I beg that you would have the goodness to sit down upon one of those boxes, and not to interfere?"どうか、あそこの箱のひとつに腰を下ろして、よけいな手出しはしないでいただけませんか」
The solemn Mr. Merryweather perched himself upon a crate, with a very injured expression upon his face, while Holmes fell upon his knees upon the floor and, with the lantern and a magnifying lens, began to examine minutely the cracks between the stones.謹厳なメリーウェザー氏は、いかにも傷ついたという顔つきで木箱にちょこんと腰かけ、その間にホームズは床にひざをつくと、ランタンと拡大鏡を手に、敷石の間のすき間を細かく調べはじめた。
A few seconds sufficed to satisfy him, for he sprang to his feet again and put his glass in his pocket.ほんの数秒で納得がいったらしく、彼はぱっと立ち上がり、拡大鏡をポケットにしまった。
