THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER 025 – CHAPTER XXV – 012

I couldn’t stand such a thing as that, Tom—nobody could.”

“Yes, but, Huck, ghosts don’t travel around only at night.
They won’t hender us from digging there in the daytime.”

“Well, that’s so.
But you know mighty well people don’t go about that ha’nted house in the day nor the night.”

“Well, that’s mostly because they don’t like to go where a man’s been murdered, anyway—but nothing’s ever been seen around that house except in the night—just some blue lights slipping by the windows—no regular ghosts.”

“Well, where you see one of them blue lights flickering around, Tom, you can bet there’s a ghost mighty close behind it.
It stands to reason.
Becuz you know that they don’t anybody but ghosts use ’em.”

“Yes, that’s so.
But anyway they don’t come around in the daytime, so what’s the use of our being afeard?”

“Well, all right.
We’ll tackle the ha’nted house if you say so—but I reckon it’s taking chances.”

They had started down the hill by this time.
There in the middle of the moonlit valley below them stood the “ha’nted” house, utterly isolated, its fences gone long ago, rank weeds smothering the very doorsteps, the chimney crumbled to ruin, the window-sashes vacant, a corner of the roof caved in.
The boys gazed awhile, half expecting to see a blue light flit past a window; then talking in a low tone, as befitted the time and the circumstances, they struck far off to the right, to give the haunted house a wide berth, and took their way homeward through the woods that adorned the rearward side of Cardiff Hill

   밑에 달빛이 비치는 계곡 한가운데 유령의 집이 서 있었고, 완전히 고립되어 있으며, 울타리는 오래전에 사라졌고, 잡초가 입구를 덮고 있으며, 굴뚝은 허물어지고, 창틀은 텅 비어있고, 지붕의 한쪽 구석은 무너져 있었다.

   소년들은 한동안 유령의 집을 바라보며 창문 옆으로 푸른 빛이 스치는 것을 반쯤 기대했다; 그런 다음 시기와 상황에 맞게 낮은 목소리로 이야기를 나누며, 오른쪽으로 멀리 돌아가 유령의 집을 넓게 피해 카디프 언덕 뒤쪽에 있는 숲을 통해 집으로 향했다.
