| What an exposure! | - Красавец, не правда ли? - сказал инспектор. |
| What can I do?" | - Ему необходимо помыться, - заметил Холмс. |
| Sherlock Holmes sat down beside him on the couch and patted him kindly on the shoulder. | - Я уже и раньше об этом догадывался и захватил с собой весь инструмент. |
| "If you leave it to a court of law to clear the matter up," said he, "of course you can hardly avoid publicity. | Он раскрыл чемоданчик и, к нашему изумлению, вынул из него большую губку. |
| On the other hand, if you convince the police authorities that there is no possible case against you, I do not know that there is any reason that the details should find their way into the papers. | - Хе-хе, да вы шутник! - засмеялся инспектор. |
| Inspector Bradstreet would, I am sure, make notes upon anything which you might tell us and submit it to the proper authorities. | - Будьте любезны, откройте нам тихонько дверь, и мы живо придадим ему более приличный вид. |

| One day my editor wished to have a series of articles upon begging in the metropolis, and I volunteered to supply them. | Никогда в жизни не видел я ничего подобного. |

| I took advantage now of my attainments. | Исчезла разрезанная губа. |
| I painted my face, and to make myself as pitiable as possible I made a good scar and fixed one side of my lip in a twist by the aid of a small slip of flesh-coloured plaster. | Исчез отталкивающий оскал зубов. |
