The Basement Room ( from Complete Short Stories by Graham Greene )
富裕層の少年が両親の旅行中に起きた７歳の頃の出来事を、６０年後、彼の死の間際に回想する物語である。
久守先生のご指摘の通り、上層と下層、大人と子供、闇と光（裏切りと正義）、無垢な世界と現実の世界、が緻密なタッチで繰り広げられる。
When the front door had shut the two of them out and the butler Baines had turned back into the dark and heavy hall, Philip began to live.
His parents were safely gone for a fortnight’s holiday.
Philip Lane went downstairs and pushed at the baize door; then he set foot for the first time on the stairs to the basement. Again he had the sense: this is life.
しかし、the front door が象徴する建前（表向き）で整えられた上層の世界（それに組み込まれている子供世界）とは、異なるthe basement room が象徴する本音がむき出しで通る下層の世界に足を踏み込んだ少年は様々なことに遭遇する。
He was divided by the fear and the attraction of life.
しかしMr.Bainesとその妻Mrs. Baines の争いの後の彼女の死をきっかけに
The whole house had been turned over to the grown-up world; he wasn't safe in the night nursery; their passions had flooded in. The only thing he could do was to get away, by the back stairs, and up through the area, and never come back. For an hour it would seem quite possible to escape from people forever.
屋敷を飛び出した少年は街を徘徊し、とうとう泣き出し、警察に保護される。
Justice waited behind a wooden counter on a high stool; （justiceは判事と正義の意味も含まれ得る。）
電話の通報で事件を知った警官と共に、少年は屋敷に戻る。
The constable said, “Will you go along with him, Mr. Baines, while I see the doctor?”
“Yes,” Baines said, “I’ll go.” He came across the room to Philip, begging, begging, all the way with his old soft stupid expression: this is your old friend Baines; what about an elevenses; (elevenses は 朝１１時頃のおやつもあるが、the Elevenはキリストの十二使徒 （ the Apostles ）からJudas を除く意味を持つ。)
But the wires were cut, the messages just faded out into the vacancy of the scrubbed room in which there had never been a place where a man could hide his secrets.
