TREASURE ISLAND 008 – IVThe Sea-chest – 001
lost no time, of course, in telling my mother all that I knew, and perhaps should have told her long before, and we saw ourselves at once in a difficult and dangerous position.Some of the man’s money—if he had any—was certainly due to us, but it was not likely that our captain’s shipmates, above all the two specimens seen by me, Black Dog and the blind beggar, would be inclined to give up their booty in payment of the dead man’s debts.The captain’s order to mount at once and ride for Doctor Livesey would have left my mother alone and unprotected, which was not to be thought of.Indeed, it seemed impossible for either of us to remain much longer in the house; the fall of coals in the kitchen grate, the very ticking of the clock, filled us with alarms.The neighbourhood, to our ears, seemed haunted by approaching footsteps; and what between the dead body of the captain on the parlour floor and the thought of that detestable blind beggar hovering near at hand and ready to return, there were moments when, as the saying goes, I jumped in my skin for terror.Something must speedily be resolved upon, and it occurred to us at last to go forth together and seek help in the neighbouring hamlet.No sooner said than done.

당연히 저는 지체하지 않고 어머니께 제가 알고 있는 모든 것을 말씀드렸고, 아마도 훨씬 전에 말씀드렸어야 했을 것입니다. 우리는 곧 어려운 상황에 놓였다는 것을 알게 되었습니다.

그 사람의 돈 중 일부는 확실히 우리에게 빚진 것이었지만, 특히 제가 본 두 인물, 즉 블랙 도그와 눈먼 거지가 우리에게 그들의 전리품을 포기하고 죽은 사람의 빚을 갚으려 하지 않을 것 같았습니다.

정말로, 우리 중 누구도 집에 더 오래 머무를 수 없어 보였습니다. 주방 난로 안에서 석탄이 떨어지는 소리나 시계의 똑딱거림만으로도 우리를 경계심으로 가득 채웠습니다.

우리 귀에는 주변이 다가오는 발소리로 가득 찬 것처럼 느껴졌습니다. 응접실 바닥에 누워있는 선장의 시체와 언제든 돌아올 기회만을 노리고 있는 그 혐오스러운 눈먼 거지에 대한 생각 사이에서, 저는 공포로 몸서리치는 순간이 있었습니다.
