About the book
Anthony Cade, a wandering adventurer, takes on two errands in London that lead him to the English country house Chimneys. There he becomes entangled in a murder and political intrigue over a European kingdom.
From the text
“Castle’s Select Tour, represented by seven depressed-looking females and three perspiring males, looked on with considerable interest.”

This friend of his now—surely rather a peculiar-looking man.
그의 친구는 지금 꽤 특이하게 생긴 사람이다.
About the same height as Mr. Cade, but thickset and not nearly so good-looking.
케이드 씨와 키는 거의 비슷하지만 체격이 다부지고 잘생기지는 않았습니다.
The sort of man one read about in books, who probably kept a saloon. Interesting, though.
책에서나 볼 법한 그런 사람인데, 아마 술집을 운영했을 것이다. 흥미롭군.
After all, that was what one came abroad for—to see all these peculiar things one read about in books.
결국 사람들이 해외에 온 목적은 책에서 읽었던 이러한 특이한 것들을 모두 직접 보기 위해서였습니다.
Up to now, they had been rather bored with Bulawayo.
지금까지 그들은 불라와요에 꽤 싫증을 느꼈다.
The sun was unbearably hot, the hotel was uncomfortable, there seemed to be nowhere particular to go until the moment should arrive to motor to the Matoppos.
태양은 견딜 수 없을 정도로 뜨거웠고, 호텔은 불편했으며, 마토포스로 차를 몰고 갈 때까지 갈 만한 특별한 곳이 없는 것 같았습니다.
Very fortunately, Mr. Cade had suggested picture postcards.
다행히 케이드 씨가 그림 엽서를 제안해 주셨습니다.
There was an excellent supply of picture postcards.
그림엽서가 아주 풍부하게 있었다.
