モーティマー医師はワトソンを館まで馬車に乗せ、行方不明の小犬を心配する。ワトソンは道中、頭文字L・Lの人物を近隣で知らないかと尋ねる。
As I walked back I was overtaken by Dr. Mortimer driving in his dog-cart over a rough moorland track which led from the outlying farmhouse of Foulmire. He has been very attentive to us, and hardly a day has passed that he has not called at the Hall to see how we were getting on. He insisted upon my climbing into his dog-cart, and he gave me a lift homeward. I found him much troubled over the disappearance of his little spaniel. It had wandered on to the moor and had never come back. I gave him such consolation as I might, but I thought of the pony on the Grimpen Mire, and I do not fancy that he will see his little dog again.
帰り道、荒れ地の外れにあるフォウルマイア農場から続く荒い道を二輪馬車で来たモーティマー医師に追い付かれた。医師は実によく気にかけてくれ、われわれの様子を見るため館へ来ない日は、ほとんどなかった。彼は私を二輪馬車へ乗せると言って聞かず、館まで送ってくれた。小さなスパニエル犬が消えたことで、医師はひどく悩んでいた。犬は荒れ地へ迷い出たきり、戻ってこなかった。私はできる限り慰めたが、グリンペンの大沼に沈んだ小馬を思い出し、医師が再び小犬に会えるとは思えなかった。
"By the way, Mortimer," said I as we jolted along the rough road, "I suppose there are few people living within driving distance of this whom you do not know?"
「ところで、モーティマー医師」と、荒い道に揺られながら私は言った。「この辺りで馬車の届く範囲に住む人なら、ほとんどご存じでしょう」
"Hardly any, I think."
「ほぼ全員を知っていると思います」
"Can you, then, tell me the name of any woman whose initials are L. L.?"
「では、頭文字がL・Lの女性に心当たりはありませんか」
