この場面を読み終えました

六時十五分にベイカー街を出た二人は、七時前にサーペンタイン通りに着く。夕闇の中、街灯がともりはじめ、二人はブライオニー荘の前を行き来して女主人の帰りを待つ。
It was a quarter past six when we left Baker Street, and it still wanted ten minutes to the hour when we found ourselves in Serpentine Avenue. It was already dusk, and the lamps were just being lighted as we paced up and down in front of Briony Lodge, waiting for the coming of its occupant. The house was just such as I had pictured it from Sherlock Holmes' succinct description, but the locality appeared to be less private than I expected. On the contrary, for a small street in a quiet neighbourhood, it was remarkably animated. There was a group of shabbily dressed men smoking and laughing in a corner, a scissors-grinder with his wheel, two guardsmen who were flirting with a nurse-girl, and several well-dressed young men who were lounging up and down with cigars in their mouths.
私たちがベイカー街を出たのは六時十五分で、サーペンタイン通りに着いたときは、まだ七時の十分前だった。すでに夕闇が迫っており、私たちがブライオニー荘の前を行きつ戻りつしながら住人の帰りを待つうちに、ちょうど街灯がともされはじめた。家はシャーロック・ホームズの簡潔な説明から思い描いていたとおりだったが、あたりは予想していたほど人目のない場所ではなさそうだった。それどころか、閑静な界隈の小さな通りにしては、驚くほどにぎわっていた。角ではみすぼらしい身なりの男たちがたばこを吸いながら笑い合い、ほかにも砥石車を据えた研ぎ屋、子守娘に言い寄る二人の近衛兵、それに葉巻をくわえてぶらぶらと行き来する身なりのよい若者が何人かいた。
