Coniston — Volume 01 — Page 8
he demanded.
그가 따져 물었다.
No wonder Cynthia gasped.
신시아가 숨을 삼킨 것도 당연했다.
Jethro Bass, Chairman of the Board, in the honored seat of Deacon Moses Hatch, the perquisite of the church in Coniston!
제스로 배스가, 이사회 의장이, 코니스턴 교회의 특권적 자리인 모세스 해치 집사의 영예로운 자리에 앉다니!
The idea was heresy.
그 생각은 이단이나 다름없었다.
As a matter of fact, Jock himself uttered it as a playful exaggeration.
사실, 조크 자신도 그 말을 장난스러운 과장으로 꺼낸 것이었다.
Certain nonconformist farmers, of whom there were not a few in the town, had come into Jonah Winch's store that morning; and Jabez Miller, who lived on the north slope, had taken away the breath of the orthodox by suggesting that Jethro Bass be nominated for town office.
그날 아침 마을에 적지 않게 있던 비국교도 농부 몇몇이 조나 윈치의 가게에 들렀는데, 북쪽 비탈에 사는 재베즈 밀러가 제스로 배스를 마을 공직에 추천하자고 제안하여 정통파 사람들의 숨을 멎게 했다.
Jock Hallowell had paused once or twice on his work on the steeple to look across the tree-tops at Coniston shouldering the sky.
조크 할로웰은 첨탑 작업을 하다 한두 번 멈추어 서서 나무 꼭대기 너머 하늘을 떠받치고 있는 코니스턴을 바라보았다.
He had been putting two and two together, and now he was merely making five out of it, instead of four.
그는 이것저것을 짜맞추어 생각하다가, 이제 그 결론을 넷이 아닌 다섯으로 내놓고 있을 뿐이었다.
He remembered that Jethro Bass had for some years been journeying through the town, baying his hides and wool, and collecting the interest on his mortgages.
그는 제스로 배스가 몇 해 동안 마을 곳곳을 돌아다니며 가죽과 양모를 사들이고, 저당에 대한 이자를 거두어 왔다는 것을 기억했다.
Cynthia would have liked to reprove Jock Hallowell, and tell him there were some subjects which should not be joked about.
신시아는 조크 할로웰을 나무라고, 농담해서는 안 될 주제들이 있다고 말하고 싶었다.
Jethro Bass, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen!
제스로 배스가, 선출직 위원회 의장이라니!
"Well, here comes, young Moses, I do believe," said Jock, gathering his pegs into his apron and preparing to ascend once more.
"저런, 저기 어린 모세스가 오는군, 정말이야," 조크가 앞치마에 못을 모아 담으며 다시 올라갈 준비를 하면서 말했다.
"Callated he'd spring up pretty soon."
"곧 나타날 줄 알았지."
"Jock, you do talk foolishly for a man who is able to build a church," said Cynthia, as she walked away.
"조크, 교회를 지을 수 있는 사람치고는 참 어리석은 말을 하는군요," 신시아가 자리를 뜨며 말했다.
