"I cannot help feeling that Gregson is right, sir," remarked Lestrade (не могу не согласиться с Грегсоном: «не могу не почувствовать, что Грегсон прав», — заметил Лестрейд). "We have both tried, and we have both failed (мы оба попытались /найти разгадку/, и оба потерпели неудачу). You have remarked more than once since I have been in the room (с тех пор как я оказался в этой комнате, вы уже не раз замечали) that you had all the evidence which you require (что у вас есть все необходимые улики). Surely you will not withhold it any longer (вы, конечно, не будете их больше утаивать; to withhold — сдерживать, удерживать; утаивать, скрывать: to withhold information from the police — утаивать от полиции какие-либо факты)."

Mr. Gregson, who had listened to this address with considerable impatience, could contain himself no longer. "Look here, Mr. Sherlock Holmes," he said, "we are all ready to acknowledge that you are a smart man, and that you have your own methods of working. We want something more than mere theory and preaching now, though. It is a case of taking the man. I have made my case out, and it seems I was wrong. Young Charpentier could not have been engaged in this second affair. Lestrade went after his man, Stangerson, and it appears that he was wrong too. You have thrown out hints here, and hints there, and seem to know more than we do, but the time has come when we feel that we have a right to ask you straight how much you do know of the business. Can you name the man who did it?"

"Any delay in arresting the assassin," I observed (любая задержка с арестом убийцы, — заметил я), "might give him time to perpetrate some fresh atrocity (может дать ему время для совершения какого-нибудь нового злодеяния; atrocity — жестокость, зверство, злодеяние)."

Thus pressed by us all, Holmes showed signs of irresolution (мы все так наседали на него, что Холмс явно заколебался: «показывал признаки нерешительности»; to press — давить; торопить, требовать немедленных действий). He continued to walk up and down the room with his head sunk on his chest and his brows drawn down (он продолжал ходить взад и вперед по комнате, опустив голову на грудь и нахмурив брови; to sink — опускать), as was his habit when lost in thought (как он обычно делал в глубокой задумчивости; habit — привычка; to lose — терять; lost in thought — погруженный в размышления).
