Billy thanked him and picked up his suitcase and set out to walk the quarter-mile to The Bell and Dragon. He had never been to Bath before.
He didn't know anyone who lived there. But Mr. Greenslade at the head office in London had told him it was a splendid town. “Find your own lodgings,” he had said, “and then go along and report to the branch manager as soon as you've got yourself settled.”
Billy was seventeen years old. He was wearing a new navy-blue overcoat, a new brown trilby hat, and a new brown suit, and he was feeling fine. He walked briskly down the street. He was trying to do everything briskly these days. Briskness, he had decided, was the one common characteristic of all successful businessmen. The big shots up at the head office were absolutely fantastically brisk all the time. They were amazing. There were no shops on this wide street that he was walking along, only a line of tall houses on each side, all of them identical.

But now, even in the darkness, he could see that the paint was peeling from the woodwork on their doors and windows and that the handsome white facades were cracked and blotchy from neglect.
Suddenly, in a downstairs window that was brilliantly illuminated by a street lamp not six yards away, Billy caught sight of a printed notice propped up against the glass in one of the upper panes. It said “Bed and Breakfast.”
There was a vase of yellow chrysanthemums, tall and beautiful, standing just underneath the notice.
He stopped walking.
He moved a bit closer.
Green curtains (some sort of velvety material) were hanging down on either side of the window.

The chrysanthemums looked wonderful beside them. He went right up and peered through the glass into the room, and the first thing he saw I was a bright fire burning in the hearth. On the carpet in front of the fire, a pretty little dachshund was curled up asleep with its nose tucked into its belly. The room itself, so far as he could see in the half darkness, was filled with pleasant furniture. There was a baby grand piano and a big sofa and several plump armchairs, and in one corner he spotted a large parrot in a cage. Animals were usually a good sign in a place like this, Billy told himself; and all in all, it looked to him as though it would be a pretty decent house to stay in. Certainly it would be more comfortable than The Bell and Dragon.
On the other hand, a pub would be more congenial1 than a boardinghouse. There would be beer and darts in the evenings, and lots of people to talk to, and it would probably be a good bit cheaper, too. He had stayed a couple of nights in a pub once before and he had liked it. He had never stayed in any boardinghouses, and, to be perfectly honest, he was a tiny bit frightened of them. The name itself conjured ups images of watery cabbage, rapacious landladies, and a powerful smell of kippers' in the living room.
After dithering about like this in the cold for two or three minutes, Billy decided that he would walk on and take a look at The Bell and Dragon before making up his mind. He turned to go.
And now a queer thing happened to him. He was in the act of stepping back and turning away from the window when all at once his eye was caught and held in the most peculiar manner by the small house that was there BED AND
BREAKFAST, it said. BED AND BREAKFAST, BED AND BREAKFAST, BED AND BREAKFAST. Each word was like a large black eye staring at him through the glass, holding him, compelling him, forcing him to stay where he was and not to walk away from that house, and the next thing he knew, he was actually moving across from the window to the front door of the house, climbing the steps that led up to it, and reach-ing for the bell.
He pressed the bell. Far away in a back room he heard it ringing, and then at once-it must have been at once because he hadn't even had time to take his finger from the bell button-the door swung open and a woman was dtk all standing there.
Normally you ring the bell and you have at least a half-minute's wait before the door opens. But this dame was like a jack-in-the-box. He pressed the bell-and out she popped! It made him jump.
She was about forty-five or fifty years old, and the us moment she saw him, she gave him a warm, welcoming smile.
"Please come in," she said pleasantly. She stepped aside, holding the door wide open, and Billy found himself automatically starting forward. The compulsion or, more accurately, the desire to follow after her into that house was extraordinarily strong.
"I saw the notice in the window," he said, holding him-self back.
"Yes, I know."
"I was wondering about a room."
"It's all ready for you, my dear," she said. She had a
round pink face and very gentle blue eyes.

He went right up and peered through the glass into the room, and the first thing he saw was a bright fire burning in the hearth.
그는 바로 다가가 유리를 통해 방 안을 들여다보았고, 가장 먼저 본 것은 벽난로에서 타오르는 밝은 불이었다.
On the carpet in front of the fire, a pretty little dachshund was curled up asleep with its nose tucked into its belly.
벽난로 앞 카펫 위에는 귀여운 작은 닥스훈드가 몸을 둥글게 말고 배에 코를 파묻은 채 잠들어 있었다.
The room itself, so far as he could see in the half darkness, was filled with pleasant furniture.
그 방 자체는 반쯤 어두운 가운데서 그가 볼 수 있는 한, 쾌적한 가구들로 가득 차 있었다.
There was a baby grand piano and a big sofa and several plump armchairs, and in one corner he spotted a large parrot in a cage.
작은 그랜드 피아노와 큰 소파, 여러 개의 통통한 안락의자가 있었고, 한 구석에는 큰 앵무새가 우리 안에 있는 것이 보였다.
Animals were usually a good sign in a place like this, Billy told himself; and all in all, it looked to him as though it would be a pretty decent house to stay in.
빌리는 동물이 있는 곳은 대개 좋은 집이라는 생각을 했고, 전반적으로 봤을 때 이 집은 머물기에 꽤 괜찮을 것처럼 보였다.
Certainly it would be more comfortable than The Bell and Dragon.
확실히 벨 앤 드래곤보다는 더 편안할 것이었다.
On the other hand, a pub would be more congenial than a boardinghouse.
반면, 술집은 하숙집보다 더 쾌적할 것이다.
There would be beer and darts in the evenings, and lots of people to talk to, and it would probably be a good bit cheaper, too.
저녁에는 맥주와 다트가 있고, 이야기할 사람도 많으며, 아마 가격도 훨씬 저렴할 것이다.
He had stayed a couple of nights in a pub once before and he had liked it.
그는 이전에 한 번 술집에서 이틀 밤을 묵은 적이 있었고, 마음에 들어 했다.
He had never stayed in any boardinghouses, and, to be perfectly honest, he was a tiny bit frightened of them.
그는 하숙집에 묵어본 적이 없었고, 솔직히 말해서 조금 겁이 났다.
The name itself conjured up images of watery cabbage, rapacious landladies, and a powerful smell of kippers in the living room.
그 이름만 들어도 흐물흐물한 양배추, 탐욕스러운 집주인, 거실에 퍼진 강한 훈제 청어 냄새가 떠올랐다.
After dithering about like this in the cold for two or three minutes, Billy decided that he would walk on and take a look at The Bell and Dragon before making up his mind.
2~3분 동안 추위 속에서 망설이다가, 빌리는 결정을 내리기 전에 벨 앤 드래곤을 한 번 보고 가기로 했다.
He turned to go.
그는 가기 위해 몸을 돌렸다.
And now a queer thing happened to him.
그때 그에게 이상한 일이 일어났다.
He was in the act of stepping back and turning away from the window when
all at once his eye was caught and held in the most peculiar manner by the small house that was there.
그가 창문에서 몸을 돌리고 뒤로 한 걸음 물러서려던 순간, 그 작은 집이 그의 시선을 사로잡아 이상하게 붙잡았다.
"BED AND BREAKFAST," it said.
“베드 앤 브렉퍼스트”라고 쓰여 있었다.
Each word was like a large black eye staring at him through the glass, holding him, compelling him, forcing him to stay where he was and not to walk away from that house,
각 단어가 유리를 통해 그를 바라보는 검은 눈처럼 보였고, 그를 붙잡아 그 자리에 머물게 하고 집에서 걸어나가지 못하게 만들었다.
and the next thing he knew, he was actually moving across from the window to the front door of the house, climbing the steps that led up to it, and reaching for the bell.
그리고 그가 깨달았을 때, 그는 실제로 창문에서 집의 현관문 쪽으로 걸어가 계단을 올라 벨을 향해 손을 뻗고 있었다.
He pressed the bell.
그는 벨을 눌렀다.
Far away in a back room he heard it ringing, and then at once—it must have been at once because he hadn't even had time to take his finger from the bell button—the door swung open and a woman was standing there.
멀리 뒤쪽 방에서 벨 소리가 들렸고, 그리고 바로 그 순간—벨에서 손을 떼기도 전에—문이 열리며 한 여성이 서 있었다.
Normally you ring the bell and you have at least a half-minute's wait before the door opens.
보통 벨을 누르면 문이 열리기까지 최소 30초는 기다려야 한다.
But this dame was like a jack-in-the-box.
하지만 이 아가씨는 잭인더박스처럼 튀어나왔다.
He pressed the bell—and out she popped! It made him jump.
그가 벨을 누르자 그녀가 튀어나와 깜짝 놀랐다.
She was about forty-five or fifty years old, and the moment she saw him, she gave him a warm, welcoming smile.
그녀는 약 45~50세 정도였고, 그를 보는 순간 따뜻하고 환영하는 미소를 지었다.
"Please come in," she said pleasantly.
“들어오세요,” 그녀가 상냥하게 말했다.
She stepped aside, holding the door wide open, and Billy found himself automatically starting forward.
그녀는 옆으로 비켜 문을 활짝 열었고, 빌리는 자동적으로 앞으로 나아가기 시작했다.
The compulsion or, more accurately, the desire to follow after her into that house was extraordinarily strong.
그 집 안으로 그녀를 따라 들어가고 싶은 강한 충동, 아니 정확히 말하면 욕구가 엄청났다.
"I saw the notice in the window," he said, holding himself back.
“창문에 있는 안내문을 봤습니다,” 그가 자신을 억누르며 말했다.
"Yes, I know."
“네, 알고 있습니다.”
"I was wondering about a room."
“방이 있는지 궁금했습니다.”
"It's all ready for you, my dear," she said.
“당신을 위해 다 준비되어 있어요, 얘야,” 그녀가 말했다.
She had a round pink face and very gentle blue eyes.
그녀는 둥글고 분홍빛 얼굴과 매우 부드러운 파란 눈을 가지고 있었다.

On the carpet in front of the fire, a pretty little dachshund was curled up asleep with its nose tucked into its belly.
The room itself, so far as he could see in the half darkness, was filled with pleasant furniture.
There was a baby grand piano and a big sofa and several plump armchairs, and in one corner he spotted a large parrot in a cage.
Animals were usually a good sign in a place like this, Billy told himself; and all in all, it looked to him as though it would be a pretty decent house to stay in.
Certainly it would be more comfortable than The Bell and Dragon.
On the other hand, a pub would be more congenial than a boardinghouse.
There would be beer and darts in the evenings, and lots of people to talk to, and it would probably be a good bit cheaper, too.
He had stayed a couple of nights in a pub once before and he had liked it.
He had never stayed in any boardinghouses, and, to be perfectly honest, he was a tiny bit frightened of them.
The name itself conjured up images of watery cabbage, rapacious landladies, and a powerful smell of kippers in the living room.
After dithering about like this in the cold for two or three minutes, Billy decided that he would walk on and take a look at The Bell and Dragon before making up his mind.
He turned to go.
And now a queer thing happened to him.
He was in the act of stepping back and turning away from the window when
all at once his eye was caught and held in the most peculiar manner by the small house that was there.
"BED AND BREAKFAST," it said.
Each word was like a large black eye staring at him through the glass, holding him, compelling him, forcing him to stay where he was and not to walk away from that house,
and the next thing he knew, he was actually moving across from the window to the front door of the house, climbing the steps that led up to it, and reaching for the bell.
He pressed the bell.
Far away in a back room he heard it ringing, and then at once—it must have been at once because he hadn't even had time to take his finger from the bell button—the door swung open and a woman was standing there.
Normally you ring the bell and you have at least a half-minute's wait before the door opens.
But this dame was like a jack-in-the-box.
He pressed the bell—and out she popped! It made him jump.
She was about forty-five or fifty years old, and the moment she saw him, she gave him a warm, welcoming smile.
"Please come in," she said pleasantly.
She stepped aside, holding the door wide open, and Billy found himself automatically starting forward.
The compulsion or, more accurately, the desire to follow after her into that house was extraordinarily strong.
"I saw the notice in the window," he said, holding himself back.
"Yes, I know."
"I was wondering about a room."
"It's all ready for you, my dear," she said.
She had a round pink face and very gentle blue eyes.

"I was on my way to The Bell and Dragon," Billy told her. "But the notice in your window just happened to catch my eye."
"My dear boy," she said, "why don't you come in out of the cold?" d
M. "How much do you charge?"
"Five and sixpence a night, including breakfast."
It was fantastically cheap. It was less than half of what he had been willing to pay.
"If that is too much," she added, "then perhaps I can reduce it just a tiny bit. Do you desire an egg for breakfast? Eggs are expensive at the moment. It would be sixpence less without the egg."
"Five and sixpence is fine," he answered. "I should like very much to stay here."
"I knew you would. Do come in.“
She seemed terribly nice. She looked exactly like the one into the mother of one's best school friend welcoming house to stay for the Christmas holidays. Billy took off his hat and stepped over the threshold.
"Just hang it there," she said, "and let me help you with
your coat."
There were no other hats or coats in the hall. There were no umbrellas, no walking sticks--nothing.
"We have it all to ourselves," she said, smiling at him over her shoulder as she led the way upstairs. "You see, it isn't very often I have the pleasure of taking a visitor into my little nest."
The old girl is slightly dotty, Billy told himself. But at Hifive and sixpence a night, who cares about that? "I should've thought you'd be simply swamped with applicants," he said politely.
"Oh, I am, my dear, I am, of course I am. But the trouble is that I'm inclined to be just a teeny-weeny bit choosy and particular-if you see what I mean."
mom "Ah, yes.“
"But I'm always ready. Everything is always ready day and night in this house just on the off chance that an acceptable young gentleman will come along. And it is such a pleasure, my dear, such a very great pleasure when now and again I open the door and I see someone standing there who is just exactly right." She was halfway up the stairs, and she paused with one hand on the stair rail, turning her head and smiling down at him with pale lips. "Like you," she added, and her blue eyes traveled slowly all the way down
the length of Billy's body, to his feet, and then up again. On the second-floor landing she said to him, "This floor is mine."

“But the trouble is that I'm inclined to be just a teeny-weeny bit choosy and particular—if you see what I mean.”
“하지만 문제는 제가 조금 까다롭고 신중한 편이라는 거예요—무슨 말인지 알죠?”
“Ah, yes.”
“아, 네.”
“But I'm always ready. Everything is always ready day and night in this house just on the off chance that an acceptable young gentleman will come along.”

“And it is such a pleasure, my dear, such a very great pleasure when now and again I open the door and I see someone standing there who is just exactly right.”
“그리고 가끔 문을 열고 정확히 맞는 사람이 서 있는 걸 볼 때, 그것이 얼마나 큰 기쁨인지, 정말 큰 기쁨이죠.”

As a matter of fact, now he came to think of it, he wasn't at all sure that the second name didn't have almost as much of a familiar ring about it as the first.
사실, 이제 생각해 보니, 그는 두 번째 이름도 첫 번째 이름만큼 익숙하게 들리는 것 같다는 확신이 전혀 없었다.
"Gregory Temple?" he said aloud, searching his memory. "Christopher Mulholland?"
"그레고리 템플?" 그는 기억을 더듬으며 소리 내어 말했다. "크리스토퍼 멀홀랜드?"
"Such charming boys," a voice behind him answered, and he turned and saw his landlady sailing into the room with a large silver tea tray in her hands.
“정말 매력적인 소년들이네요,” 뒤에서 들린 목소리가 말했다. 그는 돌아보았고, 집주인이 큰 은쟁반을 들고 방으로 들어오는 것을 보았다.
She was holding it well out in front of her, and rather high up, as though the tray were a pair of reins on a frisky horse.
그녀는 그것을 몸 앞쪽으로 높게 들고 있었는데, 마치 장난기 많은 말의 고삐처럼 보였다.
"They sound somehow familiar," he said.
“왠지 들어본 것 같은 이름들이군요,” 그가 말했다.
"They do? How interesting."
“그렇다구요? 참 흥미롭네요.”
"I'm almost positive I've heard those names before somewhere. Isn't that odd? Maybe it was in the newspapers. They weren't famous in any way, were they? I mean famous cricketers or footballers or something like that?"
“분명 어디선가 이 이름들을 들어본 것 같아요. 이상하지 않나요? 아마 신문에서 봤을지도 모르죠. 그들이 유명한 사람은 아니었잖아요? 크리켓 선수나 축구 선수처럼 유명한 사람들 말이에요.”
"Famous," she said, setting the tea tray down on the low table in front of the sofa. "Oh no, I don't think they were famous. But they were incredibly handsome, both of them, I can promise you that. They were tall and young and can’t help being handsome, my dear, just exactly like you."
“유명하다고요?” 그녀가 소파 앞 낮은 탁자 위에 차쟁반을 내려놓으며 말했다. “아니요, 유명하지 않았을 거예요. 하지만 두 사람 모두 믿을 수 없을 만큼 잘생겼어요. 키가 크고 젊어서 잘생길 수밖에 없었죠, 얘야. 바로 당신처럼요.”
Once more, Billy glanced down at the book. "Look here," he said, noticing the dates. "This last entry is over two years old."
빌리는 다시 방명록을 내려다보았다. “이거 보세요,” 그는 날짜를 확인하며 말했다. “마지막 기록이 2년이 넘었네요.”
"It is?"
“그래요?”
"Yes, indeed. And Christopher Mulholland's is nearly a year before that—more than three years ago."
“네, 맞아요. 그리고 크리스토퍼 멀홀랜드 기록은 그보다 거의 1년 전, 3년이 넘었네요.”
"Dear me," she said, shaking her head and heaving a dainty little sigh. "I would never have thought it. How time does fly away from us all, doesn't it, Mr. Wilkins?"
“이런,” 그녀가 고개를 저으며 작은 한숨을 내쉬었다. “정말 예상치 못했네요. 시간 참 빠르네요, 윌킨스 씨?”
"It's Weaver," Billy said. "W-e-a-v-e-r."
“위버예요,” 빌리가 말했다. “W-e-a-v-e-r.”
"Oh, of course it is!" she cried, sitting down on the sofa. "How silly of me. I do apologize. In one ear and out the other, that's me, Mr. Weaver."
“아, 물론이죠!” 그녀가 소파에 앉으며 외쳤다. “제가 어리석었네요. 죄송해요. 한 귀로 듣고 한 귀로 흘리는 제 버릇이에요, 위버 씨.”
"You know something?" Billy said. "Something that's really quite extraordinary about all this?"
“알겠어요?” 빌리가 말했다. “이 모든 것에 대해 정말 놀라운 점이 하나 있어요.”
"No, dear, I don't."
“아니에요, 얘야. 몰라요.”
"Well, you see, both of these names—Mulholland and Temple—I not only seem to remember each one of them separately, so to speak, but somehow or other, in some peculiar way, they both appear to be sort of connected together as well. As though they were both famous for the same sort of thing, if you see what I mean—like... well... like Dempsey and Tunney, for example, or Churchill and Roosevelt."
“자, 보세요. 이 두 이름, 멀홀랜드와 템플—저는 각각 따로 기억하는 것뿐만 아니라, 왠지 모르게 이상하게 두 이름이 서로 연결된 것처럼 느껴져요. 마치 두 사람이 같은 종류로 유명한 것처럼요. 무슨 말인지 아시죠? 예를 들어 덴프시와 터니, 또는 처칠과 루즈벨트처럼요.”

He crossed the room slowly and sat down on the edge of the sofa. She placed his teacup on the table in front of him.
"There we are," she said. "How nice and cozy this is, isn't it?"
Billy started sipping his tea. She did the same. For half a minute or so, neither of them spoke. But Billy knew that she was looking at him. Her body was half turned toward him, and he could feel her eyes resting on his face, watching w him over the rim of her teacup. Now and again, he caught a whiff of a peculiar smell that seemed to emanate directly from her person. It was not in the least unpleasant, and it reminded him-well, he wasn't quite sure what it reminded him of. Pickled walnuts? New leather? Or was it the corridors of a hospital?
At length, she said, "Mr. Mulholland was a great one for his tea. Never in my life have I seen anyone drink as much tea as dear, sweet Mr. Mulholland."
"I suppose he left fairly recently," Billy said. He was still puzzling his head about the two names. He was positive now that he had seen them in the newspapers-in the headlines.
"Left?" she said, arching her brows. "But my dear boy, he never left. He's still here. Mr. Temple is also here. They're on the fourth floor, both of them together."
Billy set his cup down slowly on the table and stared at his landlady. She smiled back at him, and then she put out one of her white hands and patted him comfortingly on the knee. "How old are you, my dear?" she asked.
"Seventeen."
"Seventeen!" she cried. "Oh, it's the perfect age! Mr. Mulholland was also seventeen. But I think he was a trifle shorter than you are; in fact I'm sure he was, and his teeth weren't quite so white. You have the most beautiful teeth, Mr. Weaver, did you know that?"
"They're not as good as they look," Billy said. "They've got simply masses of fillings in them at the back."
"Mr. Temple, of course, was a little older," she said, ignoring his remark. "He was actually twenty-eight. And yet I never would have guessed it if he hadn't told me, never in my whole life. There wasn't a blemish on his body.“

"Of course," she said. "And have you met my little Basil as well?" She nodded toward the dachshund curled up so comfortably in front of the fire. Billy looked at it.

She placed his teacup on the table in front of him.
그녀는 그의 찻잔을 그 앞 탁자 위에 놓았다.
"There we are," she said. "How nice and cozy this is, isn't it?"
"자, 이렇게 하면 됐네요," 그녀가 말했다. "정말 아늑하고 편안하네요, 그렇지 않나요?"
Billy started sipping his tea. She did the same.
빌리는 차를 한 모금 마시기 시작했다. 그녀도 똑같이 했다.
For half a minute or so, neither of them spoke.
약 30초 정도, 둘 다 아무 말도 하지 않았다.
But Billy knew that she was looking at him.
하지만 빌리는 그녀가 자신을 보고 있다는 것을 알았다.
Her body was half turned toward him, and he could feel her eyes resting on his face, watching him over the rim of her teacup.
그녀의 몸은 반쯤 그를 향해 있었고, 그는 그녀의 시선이 찻잔 너머로 자신의 얼굴을 바라보고 있다는 것을 느낄 수 있었다.
Now and again, he caught a whiff of a peculiar smell that seemed to emanate directly from her person.
가끔 그는 그녀에게서 직접 풍기는 듯한 특이한 냄새를 맡았다.
It was not in the least unpleasant, and it reminded him—well, he wasn't quite sure what it reminded him of. Pickled walnuts? New leather? Or was it the corridors of a hospital?
그 냄새는 전혀 불쾌하지 않았고, 그에게 무엇을 떠올리게 하는지는 잘 모르겠지만, 절인 호두? 새 가죽? 아니면 병원 복도였을까?
At length, she said, "Mr. Mulholland was a great one for his tea. Never in my life have I seen anyone drink as much tea as dear, sweet Mr. Mulholland."
마침내 그녀가 말했다. "멀홀랜드 씨는 차를 정말 많이 마시는 사람이었어요. 제 평생 이렇게 많은 차를 마시는 사람은 본 적이 없어요, 사랑스러운 멀홀랜드 씨 말이에요."
"I suppose he left fairly recently," Billy said. He was still puzzling his head about the two names.
"그가 최근에 떠난 게 아닐까요," 빌리가 말했다. 그는 여전히 그 두 이름에 대해 혼란스러워하고 있었다.
He was positive now that he had seen them in the newspapers—in the headlines.
그는 이제 그 이름들을 신문에서, 제목에서 본 것이 확실했다.
"Left?" she said, arching her brows. "But my dear boy, he never left. He's still here. Mr. Temple is also here. They're on the fourth floor, both of them together."
"떠났다고요?" 그녀가 눈썹을 치켜세우며 말했다. "하지만 얘야, 그는 결코 떠난 적 없어요. 아직 여기 있어요. 템플 씨도 여기에 있어요. 두 사람 모두 4층에 함께 있답니다."
Billy set his cup down slowly on the table and stared at his landlady.
빌리는 컵을 천천히 탁자 위에 내려놓고 집주인을 응시했다.
She smiled back at him, and then she put out one of her white hands and patted him comfortingly on the knee.
그녀는 그에게 미소 지으며, 흰 손을 내밀어 그의 무릎을 다정하게 두드렸다.
"How old are you, my dear?" she asked.
"몇 살이니, 얘야?" 그녀가 물었다.
"Seventeen."
"열일곱이에요."
"Seventeen!" she cried. "Oh, it's the perfect age! Mr. Mulholland was also seventeen. But I think he was a trifle shorter than you are; in fact I'm sure he was, and his teeth weren't quite so white. You have the most beautiful teeth, Mr. Weaver, did you know that?"
"열일곱이라니!" 그녀가 외쳤다. "완벽한 나이네요! 멀홀랜드 씨도 열일곱이었어요. 하지만 당신보다 조금 키가 작았던 것 같아요. 사실 확실히 그랬고, 그의 치아도 그렇게 하얗지 않았죠. 위버 씨, 당신 치아는 정말 아름답네요, 알고 계셨나요?"
"They're not as good as they look," Billy said. "They've got simply masses of fillings in them at the back."
"보기만큼 좋지 않아요," 빌리가 말했다. "뒤쪽에는 수많은 충전물이 들어 있어요."
"Mr. Temple, of course, was a little older," she said, ignoring his remark. "He was actually twenty-eight. And yet I never would have guessed it if he hadn't told me, never in my whole life. There wasn't a blemish on his body."
"물론 템플 씨는 조금 나이가 많았어요," 그녀가 그의 말을 무시하며 말했다. "실제로 28세였어요. 하지만 그가 말하지 않았다면 전 평생 절대 알 수 없었을 거예요. 몸에 티 하나 없었답니다."
"A what?" Billy said.
"티라고요?" 빌리가 말했다.
"But the..."
"하지만…"
"His skin was just like a baby's."
"피부가 마치 아기 같았어요."
There was a pause. Billy picked up his teacup and took another sip of his tea; then he set it down again gently in its saucer.
잠시 정적이 흘렀다. 빌리는 찻잔을 들어 한 모금 마신 뒤, 다시 조심스럽게 받침 접시에 내려놓았다.
He waited for her to say something else, but she seemed to have lapsed into another of her silences.
그는 그녀가 뭔가 말하길 기다렸지만, 그녀는 또다시 침묵에 잠긴 것처럼 보였다.
He sat there staring straight ahead of him into the far corner of the room, biting his lower lip.
그는 방 구석을 똑바로 응시하며 앉아 아랫입술을 깨물었다.
"That parrot," he said at last. "You know something? It had me completely fooled when I first saw it through the window. I could have sworn it was alive."
"저 앵무새 말이죠," 그는 마침내 말했다. "있잖아요, 처음 창문으로 봤을 때 완전히 속았어요. 살아 있는 줄 알았거든요."
"Alas, no longer."
"안타깝게도 더 이상은 아니에요."
"It's most terribly clever the way it's been done," he said. "It doesn't look in the least bit dead. Who did it?"
"정말 기가 막히게 잘 만들어졌네요," 그가 말했다. "전혀 죽은 것처럼 보이지 않아요. 누가 만든 거죠?"
"I did."
"제가 만들었어요."
"You did?"
"당신이요?"
"Of course," she said. "And have you met my little Basil as well?"
"물론이죠," 그녀가 말했다. "그리고 제 작은 바질도 만나보셨나요?"
She nodded toward the dachshund curled up so comfortably in front of the fire.
그녀는 난롯불 앞에서 편히 웅크리고 있는 닥스훈트를 가리켰다.
Billy looked at it. And suddenly, he realized that this animal had all the time been just as silent and motionless as the parrot.
빌리는 그것을 바라보았다. 그리고 갑자기, 이 동물도 앵무새처럼 항상 조용하고 움직이지 않았다는 것을 깨달았다.
He put out a hand and touched it gently on the top of its back.
그는 손을 내밀어 등 위를 부드럽게 만졌다.
The back was hard and cold, and when he pushed the hair to one side with his fingers, he could see the skin underneath, grayish black and dry and perfectly preserved.
등은 딱딱하고 차가웠으며, 손가락으로 털을 한쪽으로 밀자 아래 피부가 회색빛 검은색으로 건조하고 완벽하게 보존되어 있는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

He crossed the room slowly and sat down on the edge of the sofa.
She placed his teacup on the table in front of him.
"There we are," she said. "How nice and cozy this is, isn't it?"
Billy started sipping his tea. She did the same.
For half a minute or so, neither of them spoke.
But Billy knew that she was looking at him.
Her body was half turned toward him, and he could feel her eyes resting on his face, watching him over the rim of her teacup.
Now and again, he caught a whiff of a peculiar smell that seemed to emanate directly from her person.
It was not in the least unpleasant, and it reminded him—well, he wasn't quite sure what it reminded him of. Pickled walnuts? New leather? Or was it the corridors of a hospital?
At length, she said, "Mr. Mulholland was a great one for his tea. Never in my life have I seen anyone drink as much tea as dear, sweet Mr. Mulholland."
"I suppose he left fairly recently," Billy said. He was still puzzling his head about the two names.
He was positive now that he had seen them in the newspapers—in the headlines.
"Left?" she said, arching her brows. "But my dear boy, he never left. He's still here. Mr. Temple is also here. They're on the fourth floor, both of them together."
Billy set his cup down slowly on the table and stared at his landlady.
She smiled back at him, and then she put out one of her white hands and patted him comfortingly on the knee.
"How old are you, my dear?" she asked.
"Seventeen."
"Seventeen!" she cried. "Oh, it's the perfect age! Mr. Mulholland was also seventeen.
But I think he was a trifle shorter than you are; in fact I'm sure he was, and his teeth weren't quite so white. You have the most beautiful teeth, Mr. Weaver, did you know that?"
"They're not as good as they look," Billy said. "They've got simply masses of fillings in them at the back."
"Mr. Temple, of course, was a little older," she said, ignoring his remark. "He was actually twenty-eight.
And yet I never would have guessed it if he hadn't told me, never in my whole life. There wasn't a blemish on his body."
"A what?" Billy said.
"But the..."
"His skin was just like a baby's."
There was a pause. Billy picked up his teacup and took another sip of his tea; then he set it down again gently in its saucer.
He waited for her to say something else, but she seemed to have lapsed into another of her silences.
He sat there staring straight ahead of him into the far corner of the room, biting his lower lip.
"That parrot," he said at last. "You know something? It had me completely fooled when I first saw it through the window. I could have sworn it was alive."
"Alas, no longer."
"It's most terribly clever the way it's been done," he said. "It doesn't look in the least bit dead. Who did it?"
"I did."
"You did?"
"Of course," she said. "And have you met my little Basil as well?"
She nodded toward the dachshund curled up so comfortably in front of the fire.
