The story had held us, round the fire, sufficiently breathless, but except the obvious remark that it was gruesome, as, on Christmas Eve in an old house, a strange tale should essentially be, I remember no comment uttered till somebody happened to say that it was the only case he had met in which such a visitation had fallen on a child.
그 이야기는 우리를 모닥불 주위에 앉아 숨 막힐 정도로 흥미롭게 만들었지만, 크리스마스 이브에 오래된 집에서 들려주는 기이한 이야기가 본질적으로 그래야 하듯이 끔찍하다는 당연한 언급 외에는, 누군가가 그런 일이 아이에게 일어난 경우는 자신이 본 유일한 사례라고 말하기 전까지는 아무런 언급도 없었던 것으로 기억합니다.
The case, I may mention, was that of an apparition in just such an old house as had gathered us for the occasion—an appearance, of a dreadful kind, to a little boy sleeping in the room with his mother and waking her up in the terror of it; waking her not to dissipate his dread and soothe him to sleep again, but to encounter also, herself, before she had succeeded in doing so, the same sight that had shaken him.
내가 언급할 사건은 바로 우리를 그 모임에 모이게 한 그런 낡은 집에서 일어난 환영에 관한 것이었다. 그 환영은 어머니와 함께 방에서 자고 있던 어린 소년에게 끔찍한 모습으로 나타나 어머니를 공포에 질려 깨웠다. 어머니는 아들의 두려움을 없애고 다시 잠들게 하려고 깨어난 것이 아니라, 그렇게 하기도 전에 아들을 놀라게 한 바로 그 광경을 자신도 마주하게 된 것이다.
It was this observation that drew from Douglas—not immediately, but later in the evening—a reply that had the interesting consequence to which I call attention.
바로 이 관찰이 Douglas에게서—즉시가 아니라 저녁 늦게—흥미로운 결과를 가져온 답변을 이끌어냈는데, 나는 그 점에 주목하고자 합니다.
Someone else told a story not particularly effective, which I saw he was not following.
다른 사람이 그다지 효과적이지 않은 이야기를 했는데, 내가 보니 그는 그 이야기를 제대로 이해하지 못하고 있었습니다.
This I took for a sign that he had himself something to produce and that we should only have to wait.
나는 이것을 그분께서 내놓으실 무언가가 있으시니 우리가 기다리기만 하면 된다는 징조로 받아들였습니다.
We waited in fact till two nights later; but that same evening, before we scattered, he brought out what was in his mind.
우리는 실제로 이틀 밤을 기다렸습니다. 그러나 그날 저녁, 우리가 흩어지기 전에 그는 마음속에 있는 것을 말했습니다.
“I quite agree—in regard to Griffin’s ghost, or whatever it was—that its appearing first to the little boy, at so tender an age, adds a particular touch.
“저는 그리핀의 유령, 혹은 그것이 무엇이었든 간에, 그것이 어린 소년에게, 그것도 아주 어린 나이에 처음 나타났다는 점이 특별한 의미를 더한다는 데 전적으로 동의합니다.
But it’s not the first occurrence of its charming kind that I know to have involved a child.
그러나 내가 아는 한, 아이가 연루된 이처럼 매력적인 일은 이번이 처음은 아닙니다.
