translation.ca: En la casa més senzilla, el fill del taverner digué que el Número 2 estava tancat a totes hores, i que mai veia que ningú hi entrés o n'eixís si no era de nit; no sabia que hi hagués cap motiu especial per a aquest estat de coses; sentia una mica de tafaneria, pero bastant feble; s'havia explicat la major part del misteri amb la idea que a la cambra hi «sortia por», i havia reparat que hi havia llum la nit abans.
translation.en: The tavern-keeper's young son said it was kept locked all the time, and he never saw anybody go into it or come out of it except at night; he did not know any particular reason for this state of things; had had some little curiosity, but it was rather feeble; had made the most of the mystery by entertaining himself with the idea that that room was "ha'nted"; had noticed that there was a light in there the night before.
