I propose to go up there presently. I have arranged it with the estimable Ames, who is by no means wholehearted about Barker. I shall sit in that room and see if its atmosphere brings me inspiration. I'm a believer in the genius loci. You smile, Friend Watson.
我打算現在就去那裏。我已經和那個令人尊敬的管家艾姆斯商量過了，他決不是巴克的心腹。我要坐在那間屋裏，看看室中的氣氛是否能給我帶來一些靈感。華生，我的朋友，你笑吧。我是篤信守護神的。
