"Oh, then we have three days yet," said Holmes with a yawn. "That is very fortunate, as I have one or two matters of importance to look into just at present. Your Majesty will, of course, stay in London for the present?"

「ああ、それならまだ三日あります」とホームズはあくびをしながら言った。「それは大変好都合です。ちょうど今、調べなければならない重要な事柄が一つ二つありますので。陛下はもちろん、当面ロンドンにご滞在になりますか?」

"Certainly. You will find me at the Langham under the name of the Count Von Kramm."

「もちろんです。ランガム・ホテルにフォン・クラム伯爵という名前で滞在しております」

"Then I shall drop you a line to let you know how we progress."

「では、進捗をお知らせするために一筆差し上げましょう」

"Pray do so. I shall be all anxiety."

「ぜひそうしてください。首を長くしてお待ちしております」

"Then, as to money?"

「では、報酬についてはいかがでしょう?」

"You have _carte blanche_."

「全権をお任せします」

"Absolutely?"

「完全に?」

"I tell you that I would give one of the provinces of my kingdom to have that photograph."

「あの写真を手に入れるためなら、王国の州の一つを差し出してもよいと申し上げましょう」

"And for present expenses?"

「当面の費用については?」

The King took a heavy chamois leather bag from under his cloak and laid it on the table.

王はマントの下から重いセーム革の袋を取り出し、テーブルの上に置いた。

"There are three hundred pounds in gold and seven hundred in notes," he said.

「金貨で三百ポンド、紙幣で七百ポンド入っております」と彼は言った。

Holmes scribbled a receipt upon a sheet of his note-book and handed it to him.

ホームズは手帳の一枚に走り書きで領収書をしたため、王に手渡した。

"And Mademoiselle's address?" he asked.

「それから、マドモワゼルの住所は?」と彼は尋ねた。

"Is Briony Lodge, Serpentine Avenue, St. John's Wood."

「セント・ジョンズ・ウッド、サーペンタイン・アベニューのブライオニー・ロッジです」

Holmes took a note of it. "One other question," said he. "Was the photograph a cabinet?"

ホームズはそれをメモした。「もう一つ質問があります」と彼は言った。「その写真はキャビネット判でしたか?」

"It was."

「そうです」

"Then, good-night, your Majesty, and I trust that we shall soon have some good news for you. And good-night, Watson," he added, as the wheels of the royal brougham rolled down the street.

「では、おやすみなさいませ、陛下。近いうちに良い知らせをお届けできると信じております。ワトソン君もおやすみ」と彼は付け加えた。王室のブルームが通りを走り去る車輪の音が響く中で。
