Watson now lives with his wife and works as a doctor. Even after he returns from his rounds, someone may still come to their home seeking help. One June evening, their quiet domestic hours are about to meet the troubles of people elsewhere in London through a matter involving an acquaintance.

Isa Whitney, brother of the late Elias Whitney, D.D., Principal of the Theological College of St. George's, was much addicted to opium.セント・ジョージ神学校の学長で神学博士だった故イライアス・ホイットニーの弟、アイザ・ホイットニーは、ひどいアヘン中毒だった。
The habit grew upon him, as I understand, from some foolish freak when he was at college; for having read De Quincey's description of his dreams and sensations, he had drenched his tobacco with laudanum in an attempt to produce the same effects.聞くところでは、学生時代の愚かな気まぐれがこの習慣の始まりで、ド・クインシーの夢や感覚の記述を読み、同じ効果を得ようとたばこにアヘンチンキを染み込ませたのだという。
He found, as so many more have done, that the practice is easier to attain than to get rid of, and for many years he continued to be a slave to the drug, an object of mingled horror and pity to his friends and relatives.ほかの大勢と同じく、彼もこの習慣は始めるよりやめる方が難しいと思い知り、長年薬物の奴隷となり続け、友人や親族から恐れと哀れみの入り交じった目で見られていた。
I can see him now, with yellow, pasty face, drooping lids, and pin-point pupils, all huddled in a chair, the wreck and ruin of a noble man.黄色く生気のない顔、垂れたまぶた、針の先ほどの瞳孔で椅子にうずくまる彼の姿が、今も目に浮かぶ。立派だった男の見る影もない姿だった。
One night—it was in June, '89—there came a ring to my bell, about the hour when a man gives his first yawn and glances at the clock.ある夜、一八八九年六月のことだったが、そろそろ最初のあくびをして時計を見る頃、家の呼び鈴が鳴った。
I sat up in my chair, and my wife laid her needle-work down in her lap and made a little face of disappointment.私は椅子の中で体を起こし、妻は針仕事を膝に置いて、少し残念そうな顔をした。
"A patient!" said she.「患者さんね」と妻は言った。
"You'll have to go out."「あなた、出かけなくてはならないわ」
I groaned, for I was newly come back from a weary day.私はうめいた。一日の仕事に疲れ、帰宅したばかりだったからだ。
