"But your client—"

"Mas o seu cliente—"

"Never mind him. I may want your help, and so may he. Here he comes. Sit down in that armchair, Doctor, and give us your best attention."

"Não se preocupe com ele. Posso precisar da sua ajuda, e ele também. Aqui vem ele. Sente-se nessa poltrona, Doutor, e nos dê sua melhor atenção."

A slow and heavy step, which had been heard upon the stairs and in the passage, paused immediately outside the door.

Um passo lento e pesado, que havia sido ouvido na escada e no corredor, parou imediatamente do lado de fora da porta.

Then there was a loud and authoritative tap.

Em seguida, houve uma batida alta e autoritária.

"Come in!" said Holmes.

"Entre!" disse Holmes.

A man entered who could hardly have been less than six feet six inches in height, with the chest and limbs of a Hercules.

Entrou um homem que dificilmente poderia ter menos de um metro e noventa e oito de altura, com o peito e os membros de um Hércules.

His dress was rich with a richness which would, in England, be looked upon as akin to bad taste.

Suas vestes eram ricas com uma riqueza que, na Inglaterra, seria considerada próxima ao mau gosto.

Heavy bands of astrakhan were slashed across the sleeves and fronts of his double-breasted coat, while the deep blue cloak which was thrown over his shoulders was lined with flame-coloured silk and secured at the neck with a brooch which consisted of a single flaming beryl.

Largas faixas de astracã atravessavam as mangas e a frente de seu casaco de botões duplos, enquanto a capa azul-escura que estava jogada sobre seus ombros era forrada de seda cor de chama e presa no pescoço com um broche composto de uma única berila flamejante.

Boots which extended halfway up his calves, and which were trimmed at the tops with rich brown fur, completed the impression of barbaric opulence which was suggested by his whole appearance.

Botas que chegavam até a metade de suas panturrilhas, e que eram adornadas no topo com rica pele marrom, completavam a impressão de opulência bárbara sugerida por toda a sua aparência.

He carried a broad-brimmed hat in his hand, while he wore across the upper part of his face, extending down past the cheekbones, a black vizard mask, which he had apparently adjusted that very moment, for his hand was still raised to it as he entered.

Ele carregava um chapéu de abas largas na mão, enquanto usava sobre a parte superior do rosto, estendendo-se para baixo além das maçãs do rosto, uma máscara de viseira preta, que aparentemente havia ajustado naquele exato momento, pois sua mão ainda estava erguida até ela quando entrou.
