Holmes proposes leaving before half past four, while the household remains asleep. He knows where to find the stable boy and has already discovered something he wants to test. Watson dresses and asks where the new thread lies, receiving an answer so unexpected that Holmes must insist he is serious.

"And where is it?" I asked, smiling.「それはどこにあるんだい」と私は笑って尋ねた。
"In the bathroom," he answered.「浴室に」と彼は答えた。
"Oh, yes, I am not joking," he continued, seeing my look of incredulity.「いや、冗談じゃないよ」と、私の疑わしげな顔を見て続けた。
"I have just been there, and I have taken it out, and I have got it in this Gladstone bag.「今行って取り出してきた。このグラッドストン型の鞄に入っている。
Come on, my boy, and we shall see whether it will not fit the lock."さあ行こう。これで鍵穴に合うかどうか確かめようじゃないか」
We made our way downstairs as quietly as possible, and out into the bright morning sunshine.私たちはできるだけ静かに階下へ下り、明るい朝日の中へ出た。
In the road stood our horse and trap, with the half-clad stable-boy waiting at the head.道には馬と軽馬車が待ち、身支度の途中の厩番が馬の頭の所に立っていた。
We both sprang in, and away we dashed down the London Road.二人とも飛び乗り、ロンドン街道を勢いよく走り出した。
A few country carts were stirring, bearing in vegetables to the metropolis, but the lines of villas on either side were as silent and lifeless as some city in a dream.都会へ野菜を運ぶ田舎の荷車が何台か動いていたが、両側の屋敷の列は、夢の中の町のように静かで人の気配がなかった。
"It has been in some points a singular case," said Holmes, flicking the horse on into a gallop.「いくつかの点では奇妙な事件だった」とホームズは言い、馬に軽く鞭を当てて駆け足にした。
"I confess that I have been as blind as a mole, but it is better to learn wisdom late than never to learn it at all."「まるでモグラのように見えていなかったことは認めるよ。でも、遅くとも賢くなる方が、一生学ばないよりはましだ」
