The fact is, the umbrella is not my umbrella at all. It is the umbrella of some person who I hope will read these lines. He has got my silk umbrella. I have got the cotton one he left in exchange. I imagine him flaunting along the Strand under my umbrella, and throwing a scornful glance at the fellow who was carrying his abomination and getting wet into the bargain.

스트랜드를 걸어가고 있을 때 센 소나기를 만났지만, 나는 우산을 펴들지 않았다. 사실은 우산을 펴들 수가 없었다. 첫째는 우산대가 말을 듣지 않았고, 설사 그것이 제대로 작동을 했더라도, 나는 그 놈을 펴들지 않았을 것이다
