古い屋敷の門をくぐると、冷たい風が頰を撫でたWhen I passed through the gate of the old mansion, a cold wind brushed my cheek. 依頼主の老婦人は、客間できつくお茶をすすめたThe elderly client strongly offered me tea in the parlor. 「先週まで壁にかかっていたアンティークの時計が、突然消えたんです。」"The antique clock that had been hanging on the wall until last week suddenly disappeared." 彼女の声は震えていたが、目は私をじっと見つめていたHer voice was trembling, yet her eyes were staring intently at me.
私は静かに尋ねた。「その時計は、家族にとって特別なものだったのですか?」I asked quietly, "Was that clock something special to the family?" 老婦人は少し間を置いてから、小さくうなずいたThe elderly lady paused for a moment, then gave a small nod. そのとき、隣の部屋から古い時計の音が、かすかに聞こえてきた気がしたAt that moment, I thought I faintly heard the sound of an old clock coming from the next room.
