The veiled woman says that she is trembling from fear, not cold. When she raises her veil, her face is worn and anxious, and her hair is prematurely grey although she is only about thirty. Holmes studies her calmly, then uses a ticket in her glove to describe the journey she made that morning.

"It is not cold which makes me shiver," said the woman in a low voice, changing her seat as requested.「私を震わせているのは寒さではありません」と女性は、頼まれたとおり席を移しながら、低い声で言った。
"What, then?"「では何が？」
"It is fear, Mr. Holmes.「恐怖です、ホームズさん。
It is terror."恐ろしいのです」
She raised her veil as she spoke, and we could see that she was indeed in a pitiable state of agitation, her face all drawn and grey, with restless frightened eyes, like those of some hunted animal.そう言いながら彼女がヴェールを上げると、たしかに痛ましいほど取り乱していることが私たちにも分かった。顔はやつれて灰色を帯び、目は落ち着きなく怯え、追い詰められた獣のそれのようだった。
Her features and figure were those of a woman of thirty, but her hair was shot with premature grey, and her expression was weary and haggard.顔立ちも体つきも三十歳の女性のものだったが、髪には早すぎる白髪が混じり、表情は疲れきってやつれていた。
Sherlock Holmes ran her over with one of his quick, all-comprehensive glances.シャーロック・ホームズは、素早く何もかも見て取る例の視線で、彼女をざっと眺め渡した。
"You must not fear," said he soothingly, bending forward and patting her forearm.「恐れることはありませんよ」と彼はなだめるように言い、身を乗り出して彼女の前腕を軽くたたいた。
"We shall soon set matters right, I have no doubt.「すぐに事態を正してみせますよ、間違いなく。
You have come in by train this morning, I see."今朝は列車でいらっしゃったようですね」
"You know me, then?"「では、私をご存じなのですか？」
"No, but I observe the second half of a return ticket in the palm of your left glove.「いいえ。ただ、あなたの左手の手袋のてのひらに、往復切符の後半分が見えるのですよ。
You must have started early, and yet you had a good drive in a dog-cart, along heavy roads, before you reached the station."早くに出発なさったはずで、しかも駅に着くまでに、ぬかるんだ道をドッグカートでかなり長く走ってこられたのでしょう」
