Перевод: Однажды утром мистер Шерлок Холмс сидел за завтраком в своей комнате на Бейкер-стрит. Его друг доктор Ватсон стоял у окна и рассматривал трость, которую накануне оставил посетитель. На ней было написано: «Доктору Мортимеру от его друга», а дата была 1884 год. Холмс повернулся к Ватсону и сказал, что у владельца трости есть собака крупнее терьера и меньше мастифа. Ватсон удивился и спросил, откуда Холмс это знает. Холмс ответил, что внимательно осмотрел трость и заметил на ней следы собачьих зубов. Они слишком широкие для терьера и недостаточно широкие для мастифа. Холмс предположил, что собака часто несла трость за хозяином. Он предположил, что это спаниель, и действительно, это был спаниель. Холмс отошёл от стола и встал у окна, говоря это. Ватсон удивлённо посмотрел на него и спросил, как тот может быть так уверен. Холмс ответил, что уверен, потому что видел собаку у двери и слышал звонок, в который позвонил её хозяин. Он задумался, почему доктор Мортимер хочет видеть Шерлока Холмса, и сказал, что скоро они узнают. «Входите», — добавил он. В дверь постучали. Дверь открылась, и в дверном проёме появился доктор Мортимер.
