After discussing the mysterious whistle, the sisters exchange a few light words and part for the night. Julia closes her door and turns the key. Holmes interrupts Helen's account to ask whether they always locked themselves in at night. Helen explains the precaution by referring to the animals her stepfather allows around the grounds.

"'Very likely.「『ありそうなことね。
And yet if it were on the lawn, I wonder that you did not hear it also.'でも、もし芝生で鳴っていたのなら、あなたに聞こえなかったのが不思議だわ』
"'Ah, but I sleep more heavily than you.'「『ああ、でも私はあなたよりぐっすり眠るから』
"'Well, it is of no great consequence, at any rate.'「『まあ、どのみち、たいしたことではないわね』
She smiled back at me, closed my door, and a few moments later I heard her key turn in the lock."姉は私に笑みを返して戸を閉め、それから少しして、姉が鍵を回す音が聞こえました」
"Indeed," said Holmes.「なるほど」とホームズは言った。
"Was it your custom always to lock yourselves in at night?"「夜はいつも、鍵をかけて閉じこもるのが習慣でしたか？」
"Always."「いつもです」
"And why?"「なぜです？」
"I think that I mentioned to you that the Doctor kept a cheetah and a baboon.「博士がチーターとヒヒを飼っていると、お話ししたと思います。
We had no feeling of security unless our doors were locked."戸に鍵をかけていないと、安心できなかったのです」
"Quite so.「もっともだ。
Pray proceed with your statement."どうか話を続けてください」
