"
That of course; and when we had absolutely completed every particle of the furniture in this way, then we examined the house itself.
Isso, claro; e quando tínhamos absolutamente completado cada partícula da mobília dessa forma, então examinamos a casa em si.
We divided its entire surface into compartments, which we numbered, so that none might be missed; then we scrutinized each individual square inch throughout the premises, including the two houses immediately adjoining, with the microscope, as before."
Dividimos toda a sua superfície em compartimentos, que numeramos, para que nenhum pudesse ser ignorado; depois examinamos minuciosamente cada centímetro quadrado individual em todo o local, incluindo as duas casas imediatamente adjacentes, com o microscópio, como antes."
"The two houses adjoining!" I exclaimed; "you must have had a great deal of trouble."
"As duas casas adjacentes!" exclamei; "devem ter tido um grande trabalho."
"We had; but the reward offered is prodigious!"
"Tivemos; mas a recompensa oferecida é prodigiosa!"
"You include the grounds about the houses?"
"Incluem os terrenos ao redor das casas?"
"All the grounds are paved with brick.
"Todos os terrenos são pavimentados com tijolos.
They gave us comparatively little trouble.
Eles nos deram relativamente pouco trabalho.
We examined the moss between the bricks, and found it undisturbed."
Examinamos o musgo entre os tijolos e o encontramos intacto."

"Procuraram entre os papéis de D——, claro, e nos livros da biblioteca?"
"Certainly; we opened every package and parcel; we not only opened every book, but we turned over every leaf in each volume, not contenting ourselves with a mere shake, according to the fashion of some of our police officers.
"Certamente; abrimos cada pacote e embrulho; não apenas abrimos cada livro, mas viramos cada folha em cada volume, não nos contentando com um mero sacudir, conforme o hábito de alguns dos nossos oficiais de polícia.
We also measured the thickness of every book-cover, with the most accurate admeasurement, and applied to each the most jealous scrutiny of the microscope.
Também medimos a espessura de cada capa de livro, com a mais precisa medição, e aplicamos a cada uma o mais zeloso escrutínio do microscópio.
Had any of the bindings been recently meddled with, it would have been utterly impossible that the fact should have escaped observation.
Se alguma das encadernações tivesse sido recentemente mexida, teria sido absolutamente impossível que o fato tivesse escapado à observação.
Some five or six volumes, just from the hands of the binder, we carefully probed, longitudinally, with the needles."
Cinco ou seis volumes, recém-saídos das mãos do encadernador, foram cuidadosamente sondados, longitudinalmente, com as agulhas."
"You explored the floors beneath the carpets?
"Exploraram os pisos sob os tapetes?
