THE SCIENCE OF DEDUCTION.

推理の科学。

We met next day as he had arranged, and inspected the rooms at No. 221B, Baker Street, of which he had spoken at our meeting.

私たちは彼が手配した通り翌日に会い、彼が最初の出会いで話していたベイカー街221Bの部屋を見に行った。

They consisted of a couple of comfortable bed-rooms and a single large airy sitting-room, cheerfully furnished, and illuminated by two broad windows.

部屋は、二つの快適な寝室と一つの広々とした明るい居間から成り、明るく家具が整えられ、二つの大きな窓から光が差し込んでいた。

So desirable in every way were the apartments, and so moderate did the terms seem when divided between us, that the bargain was concluded upon the spot, and we at once entered into possession.

部屋はあらゆる点で申し分なく、二人で折半すると費用もかなり手頃に思われたので、その場で契約がまとまり、私たちはすぐに入居した。

That very evening I moved my things round from the hotel, and on the following morning Sherlock Holmes followed me with several boxes and portmanteaus.

その夜のうちに私はホテルから荷物を運び、翌朝シャーロック・ホームズがいくつかの箱とトランクを持って続いた。

For a day or two we were busily employed in unpacking and laying out our property to the best advantage.

一両日の間、私たちは荷物を解いてできる限り上手く荷物を並べることに忙しく取り組んだ。

That done, we gradually began to settle down and to accommodate ourselves to our new surroundings.

それが終わると、私たちは徐々に落ち着き、新しい環境に慣れ始めた。

Holmes was certainly not a difficult man to live with.

ホームズは確かに一緒に暮らしにくい人物ではなかった。

He was quiet in his ways, and his habits were regular.

彼は物静かで、生活習慣も規則正しかった。

It was rare for him to be up after ten at night, and he had invariably breakfasted and gone out before I rose in the morning.

彼が夜の十時以降も起きていることは稀で、私が朝起きる前には必ず朝食を済ませて外出していた。

Sometimes he spent his day at the chemical laboratory, sometimes in the dissecting-rooms, and occasionally in long walks, which appeared to take him into the lowest portions of the City.

ある時は化学実験室で、ある時は解剖室で一日を過ごし、時には長い散歩に出かけ、それは彼を市内の最も下層の地域へと連れて行くようだった。
