The Works of Edgar Allan Poe — Volume 2 — Page 9
The bottoms and tops of bedposts are employed in the same way.
침대 기둥의 아래쪽과 위쪽도 같은 방식으로 사용됩니다.
"But could not the cavity be detected by sounding?" I asked.
"하지만 두드려서 공동을 발견할 수는 없었나요?" 나는 물었다.
"By no means, if, when the article is deposited, a sufficient wadding of cotton be placed around it.
"전혀요, 물건을 넣을 때 그 주위에 충분한 솜 패킹을 채워 넣는다면 말이죠.
Besides, in our case, we were obliged to proceed without noise."
게다가 우리의 경우에는 소리 없이 진행해야 했으니까요."
"But you could not have removed—you could not have taken to pieces all articles of furniture in which it would have been possible to make a deposit in the manner you mention.
"하지만 당신이 언급한 방식으로 물건을 숨길 수 있는 모든 가구를 분해할 수는 없었을 것입니다.
A letter may be compressed into a thin spiral roll, not differing much in shape or bulk from a large knitting-needle, and in this form it might be inserted into the rung of a chair, for example.
예를 들어, 편지는 가는 나선형 두루마리로 압축될 수 있는데, 그 모양이나 크기가 큰 뜨개바늘과 별로 다르지 않으며, 이런 형태로 의자의 가로대 속에 삽입될 수 있습니다.
You did not take to pieces all the chairs?"
의자를 전부 분해하지는 않았겠지요?"
"Certainly not; but we did better—we examined the rungs of every chair in the hotel, and, indeed the jointings of every description of furniture, by the aid of a most powerful microscope.
"물론 그렇지 않았습니다. 하지만 우리는 더 잘했습니다. 우리는 호텔 안의 모든 의자의 가로대를, 그리고 실제로 모든 종류의 가구의 이음새를 가장 강력한 현미경의 도움으로 조사했습니다.
Had there been any traces of recent disturbance we should not have failed to detect it instantly.
최근에 손을 댄 흔적이 있었다면 즉시 발견하지 못했을 리가 없습니다.
A single grain of gimlet-dust, for example, would have been as obvious as an apple.
예를 들어, 송곳 먼지 한 알갱이라도 사과만큼이나 눈에 띄었을 것입니다.
Any disorder in the glueing—any unusual gaping in the joints—would have sufficed to insure detection."
접착제의 어떤 흐트러짐이라도, 이음새의 어떤 비정상적인 벌어짐이라도 발견을 확실히 하기에 충분했을 것입니다."
"I presume you looked to the mirrors, between the boards and the plates, and you probed the beds and the bed-clothes, as well as the curtains and carpets.
"거울도, 판자와 판 사이도 살펴보셨겠지요. 그리고 침대와 침구류, 커튼과 카펫도 조사하셨겠지요.
