"

"

"That of course; and when we had absolutely completed every particle of the furniture in this way, then we examined the house itself.

"물론 그렇게 했지요. 그리고 이런 식으로 가구의 모든 부분을 완전히 다 조사하고 나서, 우리는 집 자체를 조사했습니다.

We divided its entire surface into compartments, which we numbered, so that none might be missed; then we scrutinized each individual square inch throughout the premises, including the two houses immediately adjoining, with the microscope, as before."

우리는 집의 전체 표면을 구획으로 나누고 번호를 매겨 빠뜨리는 곳이 없도록 했습니다. 그런 다음 바로 인접한 두 집을 포함하여 부지 전체의 각 평방 인치를 전과 마찬가지로 현미경으로 면밀히 조사했습니다."

"The two houses adjoining!" I exclaimed; "you must have had a great deal of trouble."

"인접한 두 집까지요!" 나는 외쳤다. "엄청난 수고가 들었겠군요."

"We had; but the reward offered is prodigious!"

"그랬습니다. 하지만 제시된 보상이 엄청나니까요!"

"You include the grounds about the houses?"

"집 주변 부지도 포함해서요?"

"All the grounds are paved with brick.

"부지 전체가 벽돌로 포장되어 있었습니다.

They gave us comparatively little trouble.

그쪽은 비교적 수고가 덜했습니다.

We examined the moss between the bricks, and found it undisturbed."

우리는 벽돌 사이의 이끼를 조사했는데, 손댄 흔적이 없었습니다."

"You looked among D——'s papers, of course, and into the books of the library?"

"물론 D——의 서류들과 서재의 책들도 살펴보셨겠지요?"

"Certainly; we opened every package and parcel; we not only opened every book, but we turned over every leaf in each volume, not contenting ourselves with a mere shake, according to the fashion of some of our police officers.

"물론이죠. 우리는 모든 꾸러미와 소포를 열었습니다. 우리는 모든 책을 펼쳐볼 뿐만 아니라, 일부 경찰관들의 방식처럼 단순히 흔들어보는 것에 만족하지 않고 각 권의 모든 낱장을 넘겨보았습니다.

We also measured the thickness of every book-cover, with the most accurate admeasurement, and applied to each the most jealous scrutiny of the microscope.

우리는 또한 가장 정밀한 측정으로 모든 책 표지의 두께를 재고, 각각에 현미경으로 가장 세심한 조사를 실시했습니다.

Had any of the bindings been recently meddled with, it would have been utterly impossible that the fact should have escaped observation.

만약 제본 중 어느 것이라도 최근에 손을 댔다면, 그 사실이 관찰을 피해갔을 리는 절대로 없었을 것입니다.

Some five or six volumes, just from the hands of the binder, we carefully probed, longitudinally, with the needles."

제본사의 손을 막 떠난 다섯 여섯 권의 책은 바늘로 세로 방향으로 조심스럽게 탐침했습니다."

"You explored the floors beneath the carpets?

"카펫 아래 바닥도 조사하셨나요?
