THE SCIENCE OF DEDUCTION.
A CIÊNCIA DA DEDUÇÃO.
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.
Encontrámo-nos no dia seguinte, conforme ele havia combinado, e inspecionámos os quartos no n.º 221B, Baker Street, dos quais ele havia falado no nosso encontro.
They consisted of a couple of comfortable bed-rooms and a single large airy sitting-room, cheerfully furnished, and illuminated by two broad windows.
Consistiam em dois quartos de dormir confortáveis e uma única e ampla sala arejada, alegremente mobilada e iluminada por duas largas janelas.
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.
Tão desejáveis em todos os aspetos eram os apartamentos, e tão moderados pareciam os termos quando divididos entre nós, que o negócio foi concluído no local, e imediatamente tomámos posse.
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.
Nessa mesma noite, transportei as minhas coisas do hotel, e na manhã seguinte Sherlock Holmes veio ter comigo com várias caixas e malas de viagem.
For a day or two we were busily employed in unpacking and laying out our property to the best advantage.
Durante um dia ou dois, estivemos ocupados a desembalar e a organizar os nossos pertences da melhor forma possível.
That done, we gradually began to settle down and to accommodate ourselves to our new surroundings.
Feito isso, começámos gradualmente a instalar-nos e a adaptar-nos ao nosso novo ambiente.
Holmes was certainly not a difficult man to live with.
Holmes certamente não era um homem difícil com quem conviver.
He was quiet in his ways, and his habits were regular.
Era discreto nos seus modos, e os seus hábitos eram regulares.
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.
Era raro que ele ficasse acordado depois das dez da noite, e invariavelmente já havia tomado o pequeno-almoço e saído antes de eu me levantar de manhã.
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.
Por vezes passava o dia no laboratório de química, outras vezes nas salas de dissecação, e ocasionalmente em longas caminhadas, que pareciam levá-lo às zonas mais degradadas da cidade.
