He
considered
awhile
,
with
the
caution
of
one
who
endeavours
to
lay
hold
on
a
small
dangerous
animal
in
such
a
manner
that
it
shall
not
be
able
either
to
scratch
or
bite
him
,
as
I
myself
have
sometimes
done
with
a
weasel
in
England
.
At
length
he
ventured
to
take
me
behind
,
by
the
middle
,
between
his
fore-finger
and
thumb
,
and
brought
me
within
three
yards
of
his
eyes
,
that
he
might
behold
my
shape
more
perfectly
.
I
guessed
his
meaning
,
and
my
good
fortune
gave
me
so
much
presence
of
mind
,
that
I
resolved
not
to
struggle
in
the
least
as
he
held
me
in
the
air
above
sixty
feet
from
the
ground
,
although
he
grievously
pinched
my
sides
,
for
fear
I
should
slip
through
his
fingers
.
All
I
ventured
was
to
raise
mine
eyes
towards
the
sun
,
and
place
my
hands
together
in
a
supplicating
posture
,
and
to
speak
some
words
in
a
humble
melancholy
tone
,
suitable
to
the
condition
I
then
was
in
:
for
I
apprehended
every
moment
that
he
would
dash
me
against
the
ground
,
as
we
usually
do
any
little
hateful
animal
,
which
we
have
a
mind
to
destroy
.
But
my
good
star
would
have
it
,
that
he
appeared
pleased
with
my
voice
and
gestures
,
and
began
to
look
upon
me
as
a
curiosity
,
much
wondering
to
hear
me
pronounce
articulate
words
,
although
he
could
not
understand
them
.
In
the
mean
time
I
was
not
able
to
forbear
groaning
and
shedding
tears
,
and
turning
my
head
towards
my
sides
;
letting
him
know
,
as
well
as
I
could
,
how
cruelly
I
was
hurt
by
the
pressure
of
his
thumb
and
finger
.
He
seemed
to
apprehend
my
meaning
;
for
,
lifting
up
the
lappet
of
his
coat
,
he
put
me
gently
into
it
,
and
immediately
ran
along
with
me
to
his
master
,
who
was
a
substantial
farmer
,
and
the
same
person
I
had
first
seen
in
the
field
.
The
farmer
having
(
as
I
suppose
by
their
talk
)
received
such
an
account
of
me
as
his
servant
could
give
him
,
took
a
piece
of
a
small
straw
,
about
the
size
of
a
walking-staff
,
and
therewith
lifted
up
the
lappets
of
my
coat
;
which
it
seems
he
thought
to
be
some
kind
of
covering
that
nature
had
given
me
.
He
blew
my
hairs
aside
to
take
a
better
view
of
my
face
.
He
called
his
hinds
about
him
,
and
asked
them
,
as
I
afterwards
learned
,
whether
they
had
ever
seen
in
the
fields
any
little
creature
that
resembled
me
.
He
then
placed
me
softly
on
the
ground
upon
all
fours
,
but
I
got
immediately
up
,
and
walked
slowly
backward
and
forward
,
to
let
those
people
see
I
had
no
intent
to
run
away
.
They
all
sat
down
in
a
circle
about
me
,
the
better
to
observe
my
motions
.
I
pulled
off
my
hat
,
and
made
a
low
bow
towards
the
farmer
.
I
fell
on
my
knees
,
and
lifted
up
my
hands
and
eyes
,
and
spoke
several
words
as
loud
as
I
could
:
I
took
a
purse
of
gold
out
of
my
pocket
,
and
humbly
presented
it
to
him
.
He
received
it
on
the
palm
of
his
hand
,
then
applied
it
close
to
his
eye
to
see
what
it
was
,
and
afterwards
turned
it
several
times
with
the
point
of
a
pin
(
which
he
took
out
of
his
sleeve
,
)
but
could
make
nothing
of
it
.
Whereupon
I
made
a
sign
that
he
should
place
his
hand
on
the
ground
.
I
then
took
the
purse
,
and
,
opening
it
,
poured
all
the
gold
into
his
palm
.
There
were
six
Spanish
pieces
of
four
pistoles
each
,
beside
twenty
or
thirty
smaller
coins
.
I
saw
him
wet
the
tip
of
his
little
finger
upon
his
tongue
,
and
take
up
one
of
my
largest
pieces
,
and
then
another
;
but
he
seemed
to
be
wholly
ignorant
what
they
were
.
He
made
me
a
sign
to
put
them
again
into
my
purse
,
and
the
purse
again
into
my
pocket
,
which
,
after
offering
it
to
him
several
times
,
I
thought
it
best
to
do
.
The
farmer
,
by
this
time
,
was
convinced
I
must
be
a
rational
creature
.
He
spoke
often
to
me
;
but
the
sound
of
his
voice
pierced
my
ears
like
that
of
a
water-mill
,
yet
his
words
were
articulate
enough
.
I
answered
as
loud
as
I
could
in
several
languages
,
and
he
often
laid
his
ear
within
two
yards
of
me
:
but
all
in
vain
,
for
we
were
wholly
unintelligible
to
each
other
.
He
then
sent
his
servants
to
their
work
,
and
taking
his
handkerchief
out
of
his
pocket
,
he
doubled
and
spread
it
on
his
left
hand
,
which
he
placed
flat
on
the
ground
with
the
palm
upward
,
making
me
a
sign
to
step
into
it
,
as
I
could
easily
do
,
for
it
was
not
above
a
foot
in
thickness
.
I
thought
it
my
part
to
obey
,
and
,
for
fear
of
falling
,
laid
myself
at
full
length
upon
the
handkerchief
,
with
the
remainder
of
which
he
lapped
me
up
to
the
head
for
further
security
,
and
in
this
manner
carried
me
home
to
his
house
.
There
he
called
his
wife
,
and
showed
me
to
her
;
but
she
screamed
and
ran
back
,
as
women
in
England
do
at
the
sight
of
a
toad
or
a
spider
.
However
,
when
she
had
a
while
seen
my
behaviour
,
and
how
well
I
observed
the
signs
her
husband
made
,
she
was
soon
reconciled
,
and
by
degrees
grew
extremely
tender
of
me
.
It
was
about
twelve
at
noon
,
and
a
servant
brought
in
dinner
.
It
was
only
one
substantial
dish
of
meat
(
(
fit
for
the
plain
condition
of
a
husbandman
,
)
)
in
a
dish
of
about
four-and-twenty
feet
diameter
.
The
company
were
,
the
farmer
and
his
wife
,
three
children
,
and
an
old
grandmother
.
When
they
were
sat
down
,
the
farmer
placed
me
at
some
distance
from
him
on
the
table
,
which
was
thirty
feet
high
from
the
floor
.
I
was
in
a
terrible
fright
,
and
kept
as
far
as
I
could
from
the
edge
,
for
fear
of
falling
.
The
wife
minced
a
bit
of
meat
,
then
crumbled
some
bread
on
a
trencher
,
and
placed
it
before
me
.
I
made
her
a
low
bow
,
took
out
my
knife
and
fork
,
and
fell
to
eat
,
which
gave
them
exceeding
delight
.
The
mistress
sent
her
maid
for
a
small
dram
cup
,
which
held
about
two
gallons
,
and
filled
it
with
drink
;
I
took
up
the
vessel
with
much
difficulty
in
both
hands
,
and
in
a
most
respectful
manner
drank
to
her
ladyship
's
health
,
expressing
the
words
as
loud
as
I
could
in
English
,
which
made
the
company
laugh
so
heartily
,
that
I
was
almost
deafened
with
the
noise
.
This
liquor
tasted
like
a
small
cider
,
and
was
not
unpleasant
.
Then
the
master
made
me
a
sign
to
come
to
his
trencher
side
;
but
as
I
walked
on
the
table
,
being
in
great
surprise
all
the
time
,
as
the
indulgent
reader
will
easily
conceive
and
excuse
,
I
happened
to
stumble
against
a
crust
,
and
fell
flat
on
my
face
,
but
received
no
hurt
.
I
got
up
immediately
,
and
observing
the
good
people
to
be
in
much
concern
,
I
took
my
hat
(
which
I
held
under
my
arm
out
of
good
manners
,
)
)
and
waving
it
over
my
head
,
made
three
huzzas
,
to
show
I
had
got
no
mischief
by
my
fall
.
But
advancing
forward
towards
my
master
(
(
as
I
shall
henceforth
call
him
,
)
)
his
youngest
son
,
who
sat
next
to
him
,
an
arch
boy
of
about
ten
years
old
,
took
me
up
by
the
legs
,
and
held
me
so
high
in
the
air
,
that
I
trembled
every
limb
:
but
his
father
snatched
me
from
him
,
and
at
the
same
time
gave
him
such
a
box
on
the
left
ear
,
as
would
have
felled
an
European
troop
of
horse
to
the
earth
,
ordering
him
to
be
taken
from
the
table
.
But
being
afraid
the
boy
might
owe
me
a
spite
,
and
well
remembering
how
mischievous
all
children
among
us
naturally
are
to
sparrows
,
rabbits
,
young
kittens
,
and
puppy
dogs
,
I
fell
on
my
knees
,
and
pointing
to
the
boy
,
made
my
master
to
understand
,
as
well
as
I
could
,
that
I
desired
his
son
might
be
pardoned
.
The
father
complied
,
and
the
lad
took
his
seat
again
,
whereupon
I
went
to
him
,
and
kissed
his
hand
,
which
my
master
took
,
and
made
him
stroke
me
gently
with
it
.
In
the
midst
of
dinner
,
my
mistress
's
favourite
cat
leaped
into
her
lap
.
I
heard
a
noise
behind
me
like
that
of
a
dozen
stocking-weavers
at
work
;
and
turning
my
head
,
I
found
it
proceeded
from
the
purring
of
that
animal
,
who
seemed
to
be
three
times
larger
than
an
ox
,
as
I
computed
by
the
view
of
her
head
,
and
one
of
her
paws
,
while
her
mistress
was
feeding
and
stroking
her
.
The
fierceness
of
this
creature
's
countenance
altogether
discomposed
me
;
though
I
stood
at
the
farther
end
of
the
table
,
above
fifty
feet
off
;
and
although
my
mistress
held
her
fast
,
for
fear
she
might
give
a
spring
,
and
seize
me
in
her
talons
.
But
it
happened
there
was
no
danger
,
for
the
cat
took
not
the
least
notice
of
me
when
my
master
placed
me
within
three
yards
of
her
.
And
as
I
have
been
always
told
,
and
found
true
by
experience
in
my
travels
,
that
flying
or
discovering
fear
before
a
fierce
animal
,
is
a
certain
way
to
make
it
pursue
or
attack
you
,
so
I
resolved
,
in
this
dangerous
juncture
,
to
show
no
manner
of
concern
.
I
walked
with
intrepidity
five
or
six
times
before
the
very
head
of
the
cat
,
and
came
within
half
a
yard
of
her
;
whereupon
she
drew
herself
back
,
as
if
she
were
more
afraid
of
me
:
I
had
less
apprehension
concerning
the
dogs
,
whereof
three
or
four
came
into
the
room
,
as
it
is
usual
in
farmers
'
houses
;
one
of
which
was
a
mastiff
,
equal
in
bulk
to
four
elephants
,
and
another
a
greyhound
,
somewhat
taller
than
the
mastiff
,
but
not
so
large
.
When
dinner
was
almost
done
,
the
nurse
came
in
with
a
child
of
a
year
old
in
her
arms
,
who
immediately
spied
me
,
and
began
a
squall
that
you
might
have
heard
from
London-Bridge
to
Chelsea
,
after
the
usual
oratory
of
infants
,
to
get
me
for
a
plaything
.
The
mother
,
out
of
pure
indulgence
,
took
me
up
,
and
put
me
towards
the
child
,
who
presently
seized
me
by
the
middle
,
and
got
my
head
into
his
mouth
,
where
I
roared
so
loud
that
the
urchin
was
frighted
,
and
let
me
drop
,
and
I
should
infallibly
have
broke
my
neck
,
if
the
mother
had
not
held
her
apron
under
me
.
The
nurse
,
to
quiet
her
babe
,
made
use
of
a
rattle
which
was
a
kind
of
hollow
vessel
filled
with
great
stones
,
and
fastened
by
a
cable
to
the
child
's
waist
:
but
all
in
vain
;
so
that
she
was
forced
to
apply
the
last
remedy
by
giving
it
suck
.
I
must
confess
no
object
ever
disgusted
me
so
much
as
the
sight
of
her
monstrous
breast
,
which
I
can
not
tell
what
to
compare
with
,
so
as
to
give
the
curious
reader
an
idea
of
its
bulk
,
shape
,
and
colour
.
It
stood
prominent
six
feet
,
and
could
not
be
less
than
sixteen
in
circumference
.
The
nipple
was
about
half
the
bigness
of
my
head
,
and
the
hue
both
of
that
and
the
dug
,
so
varied
with
spots
,
pimples
,
and
freckles
,
that
nothing
could
appear
more
nauseous
:
for
I
had
a
near
sight
of
her
,
she
sitting
down
,
the
more
conveniently
to
give
suck
,
and
I
standing
on
the
table
.
