Holmes points out the saucer of milk on the safe. Helen explains that the house has no cat, although her stepfather keeps a cheetah and a baboon. Holmes appears satisfied with the answer and moves on to examine the seat of a wooden chair in the room. The scene begins from this carefully established point.

"Ah, yes, of course!「ああ、そうか、もちろんだ！
Well, a cheetah is just a big cat, and yet a saucer of milk does not go very far in satisfying its wants, I daresay.まあ、チーターは大きな猫にすぎないが、それでもミルクの皿一枚では、その欲求を満たすのにあまり足しにならないだろうね。
There is one point which I should wish to determine."一つだけ、確かめておきたい点がある」
He squatted down in front of the wooden chair and examined the seat of it with the greatest attention.彼は木の椅子の前にしゃがみ込み、座面をこの上なく注意深く調べた。
"Thank you.「ありがとう。
That is quite settled," said he, rising and putting his lens in his pocket.これで確かになった」と彼は立ち上がり、拡大鏡をポケットに収めて言った。
"Hullo!「おや！
Here is something interesting!"これは面白いものがあるぞ！」
The object which had caught his eye was a small dog lash hung on one corner of the bed.彼の目を引いたのは、ベッドの片隅にかけられた小さな犬用の鞭だった。
The lash, however, was curled upon itself and tied so as to make a loop of whipcord.ところがその鞭は、自分自身に巻きつけて結ばれ、鞭縄の輪の形になっていた。
