I would suggest, for example, that a presentation to a doctor is more likely to come from a hospital than from a hunt, and that when the initials 'C.C.' are placed before that hospital the words 'Charing Cross' very naturally suggest themselves."

Eu sugeriria, por exemplo, que uma homenagem a um médico tem mais probabilidade de vir de um hospital do que de uma caçada, e que quando as iniciais 'C.C.' são colocadas antes desse hospital as palavras 'Charing Cross' muito naturalmente se sugerem."

"You may be right."

"Pode ser que tenha razão."

"The probability lies in that direction.

"A probabilidade aponta nessa direção.

"Do none suggest themselves? You know my methods. Apply them!"

"Nenhuma se sugere? Você conhece meus métodos. Aplique-os!"

"I can only think of the obvious conclusion that the man has practised in town before going to the country."

"Só consigo pensar na conclusão óbvia de que o homem exerceu a profissão na cidade antes de ir para o campo."

"I think that we might venture a little farther than this.

"Acho que podemos nos aventurar um pouco além disso.
