Harrigan — Page 4
For answer he dragged a crimson carnation from the buttonhole of a tall man who stood at his side.
대답 대신 그는 옆에 서 있던 키 큰 남자의 단춧구멍에서 진홍색 카네이션을 잡아당겨 뺐다.
"What in hell--" began the victim, but Harrigan smiled and the other drew slowly back through the crowd.
"도대체 뭐하는 짓이야--" 피해자가 말을 꺼냈지만, 해리건이 미소를 짓자 그 남자는 천천히 군중 사이로 물러났다.
"Now send them away."
"이제 저 사람들을 보내버려요."
She looked at him an instant longer with a light coming slowly up behind her eyes.
그녀는 눈빛 뒤로 서서히 빛이 떠오르는 채로 잠시 더 그를 바라보았다.
Then she leaned out and waved to the chuckling semicircle.
그러고는 몸을 내밀어 킥킥거리는 반원의 사람들에게 손을 흔들었다.
"Run away for a while," she said; "I want to talk to my brother."
"잠깐 저리 가 있어," 그녀가 말했다. "내 오빠랑 얘기 좀 해야 하거든."
She patted the thick red hair to emphasize the relationship, and the little crowd departed, laughing uproariously.
그녀는 관계를 강조하듯 그의 두꺼운 붉은 머리카락을 가볍게 두드렸고, 작은 무리는 떠들썩하게 웃으며 떠났다.
Harrigan slipped the carnation into the jetty hair.
해리건은 카네이션을 그녀의 칠흑같이 검은 머리카락 속에 꽂았다.
His hand lingered a moment against the soft masses, and she drew it down, grown suddenly serious.
그의 손이 잠시 부드러운 머리카락에 머물렀고, 그녀는 갑자기 진지해지며 그 손을 끌어 내렸다.
"There are three policemen in the shadow of that cottage over there. They're watching you."
"저기 저 오두막 그늘 안에 경찰관 세 명이 있어요. 당신을 지켜보고 있어요."
"Ah-h!"
"아—!"
The sound was so soft that it was almost a sigh, but she shivered perceptibly.
그 소리는 너무 부드러워서 거의 한숨 같았지만, 그녀는 눈에 띄게 몸을 떨었다.
"What have you been doing?"
"무슨 짓을 한 거예요?"
He answered regretfully: "Nothing."
그는 유감스럽다는 듯 대답했다. "아무것도요."
"They're coming this way. The man who had the carnation is with them. You better beat it."
"이쪽으로 오고 있어요. 카네이션을 갖고 있던 남자도 같이요. 빨리 도망가는 게 나을 것 같아요."
"Nope. I like it here."
"싫어요. 여기가 좋은걸요."
She shook her head, but the flame was blowing high now in her eyes.
그녀는 고개를 저었지만, 이제 그녀의 눈 속에는 불꽃이 활활 타오르고 있었다.
A hand fell on Harrigan's shoulder.
한 손이 해리건의 어깨 위에 얹혔다.
"Hey!" said the sergeant in a loud voice.
"이봐요!" 하고 경사가 큰 소리로 말했다.
Harrigan turned slowly and the sergeant's hand fell away.
해리건이 천천히 돌아서자 경사의 손이 떨어져 내렸다.
The man of the carnation was far in the background.
카네이션의 남자는 저 멀리 배경 속에 있었다.
"Well?"
"그래서요?"
"That flower.
"그 꽃 말이오.
