That afternoon, Mr Spaulding took Mr Wilson to the Red-Headed League. There were a lot men waiting outside the office and they all had red hair. But Mr Spaulding pushed past all the men until they were outside the door. They went inside and met the manager, Mr Duncan Ross, who told them about the job. 339

It was dark inside the cellar and there were a lot large boxes. ‫ وأثناء السفرأخبر هولمز الدكتور واتسون أن السيد ماري ويذر هو‬.‫ركب الرجال األربعة سياراتين تاكسي‬ ‫ أخذهم‬،‫ عندما وصلوا‬. ‫ وأخذتهم السياراتان الى بنك السيد ماري ويذر‬.‫مدير البنك وراء متجر السيد ويلسون‬ .‫ وكان المكان مظلما داخل قبو وكان هناك الكثير من الصناديق الكبيرة‬.‫ماري ويذر داخل البنك ونزوال إلى القبو‬

The Text Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson returned to Baker Street and Holmes explained the crime to Watson. John Clay had the idea for the RedHeaded League because his friend Mr Ross had red hair. Holmes knew that the job of copying out the encyclopaedia was too foolish to be a real job. Clay and Mr Ross invented the job because they wanted Mr Wilson out of his shop. Why? ‫إبتكر جون كالي فكرة‬.‫عاد شيرلوك هولمز والدكتور واتسون إلى شارع بيكر وشرح الجريمة لواتسون‬ ‫ عرف هولمز أن وظيفة النسخ من الموسوعة‬.‫جماعة الشعر األحمر ألن صديقة السيد روس كان ذو شعر أحمر‬ ‫ إخترع كالي والسيد روس هذا المنصب ألنهما أرادوا السيد ويلسون‬.‫أغبي جدا من أن تكون وظيفة حقيقية‬ ‫ لماذا؟‬.‫أن يكون بعيدا عن متجره‬

Mr Wilson told Holmes that Mr Spaulding often used to work in the cellar. Holmes said that this was unusual. Holmes asked some questions about Mr Spaulding and found out that he was John Clay, the thief. When Holmes knocked on the door of the shop, 363

Chapter

he saw that knees of Mr Spaulding’s trousers were dirty and had holes in them. Holmes deduced that he was digging a tunnel with Mr Ross when Mr Wilson was not in the shop. ‫ رأي هولمز أن هذا أمر‬.‫أخبر السيد ويلسون هولمز أن السيد سبولدينج غالبا ما كان يعمل في القبو‬ ‫ عندما طرق‬.‫ اللص‬،‫ ٍوسال هولمز ويلسون بعض األسئلة حول سبولدينج وتبين أنه جون كالي‬.‫غير عادي‬ .‫ وكان بها ثقوب‬،‫ ورأى أن الركبتين من سراويل السيد سبولدينج كانت قذرة‬،‫هولمز على باب المحل‬ .‫إستخلص هولمز أنه حفر نفقا مع السيد روس عندما لم يكن السيد ويلسون في المحل‬

How did you know that they wanted to take the gold on Saturday night? Watson asked. .‫ «كيف عرفت أن اللصوص تريد أن تأخذ الذهب مساء يوم السبت؟‬: ‫سأل واتسون هولمز‬
