| "Where is it, then?" | Это самая страшная ловушка на всем берегу реки, и я опасаюсь, что Невилл Сент-Клер, попавший в нее, никогда не вернется домой. |
| "Near Lee, in Kent. | Но мы тоже устроим ловушку. |
| We have a seven-mile drive before us." | Шерлок Холмс сунул два пальца в рот и резко свистнул. |
| "But I am all in the dark." | Тотчас же издалека донесся такой же свист, а затем мы услышали грохот колес и стук копыт. |
| "Of course you are. | - Ну что же, Уотсон, - сказал Холмс, когда из темноты вынырнула двуколка с двумя фонарями, бросавшими яркие полосы света, - поедете вы со мною? |

| A dull wrack was drifting slowly across the sky, and a star or two twinkled dimly here and there through the rifts of the clouds. | - Где же этот дом? |

| We had driven several miles, and were beginning to get to the fringe of the belt of suburban villas, when he shook himself, shrugged his shoulders, and lit up his pipe with the air of a man who has satisfied himself that he is acting for the best. | Нам нужно проехать семь миль. |
