On
the
26th
day
of
October
we
arrived
at
the
metropolis
,
called
in
their
language
Lorbrulgrud
,
or
Pride
of
the
Universe
.
My
master
took
a
lodging
in
the
principal
street
of
the
city
,
not
far
from
the
royal
palace
,
and
put
out
bills
in
the
usual
form
,
containing
an
exact
description
of
my
person
and
parts
.
He
hired
a
large
room
between
three
and
four
hundred
feet
wide
.
He
provided
a
table
sixty
feet
in
diameter
,
upon
which
I
was
to
act
my
part
,
and
pallisadoed
it
round
three
feet
from
the
edge
,
and
as
many
high
,
to
prevent
my
falling
over
.
I
was
shown
ten
times
a-day
,
to
the
wonder
and
satisfaction
of
all
people
.
I
could
now
speak
the
language
tolerably
well
,
and
perfectly
understood
every
word
,
that
was
spoken
to
me
.
Besides
,
I
had
learnt
their
alphabet
,
and
could
make
a
shift
to
explain
a
sentence
here
and
there
;
for
Glumdalclitch
had
been
my
instructor
while
we
were
at
home
,
and
at
leisure
hours
during
our
journey
.
She
carried
a
little
book
in
her
pocket
,
not
much
larger
than
a
Sanson
's
Atlas
;
it
was
a
common
treatise
for
the
use
of
young
girls
,
giving
a
short
account
of
their
religion
:
out
of
this
she
taught
me
my
letters
,
and
interpreted
the
words
.
The
frequent
labours
I
underwent
every
day
,
made
,
in
a
few
weeks
,
a
very
considerable
change
in
my
health
:
the
more
my
master
got
by
me
,
the
more
insatiable
he
grew
.
I
had
quite
lost
my
stomach
,
and
was
almost
reduced
to
a
skeleton
.
The
farmer
observed
it
,
and
concluding
I
must
soon
die
,
resolved
to
make
as
good
a
hand
of
me
as
he
could
.
While
he
was
thus
reasoning
and
resolving
with
himself
,
a
sardral
,
or
gentleman-usher
,
came
from
court
,
commanding
my
master
to
carry
me
immediately
thither
for
the
diversion
of
the
queen
and
her
ladies
.
Some
of
the
latter
had
already
been
to
see
me
,
and
reported
strange
things
of
my
beauty
,
behaviour
,
and
good
sense
.
Her
majesty
,
and
those
who
attended
her
,
were
beyond
measure
delighted
with
my
demeanour
.
I
fell
on
my
knees
,
and
begged
the
honour
of
kissing
her
imperial
foot
;
but
this
gracious
princess
held
out
her
little
finger
towards
me
,
after
I
was
set
on
the
table
,
which
I
embraced
in
both
my
arms
,
and
put
the
tip
of
it
with
the
utmost
respect
to
my
lip
.
She
made
me
some
general
questions
about
my
country
and
my
travels
,
which
I
answered
as
distinctly
,
and
in
as
few
words
as
I
could
.
She
asked
,
"
whether
I
could
be
content
to
live
at
court
?
"
I
bowed
down
to
the
board
of
the
table
,
and
humbly
answered
"
that
I
was
my
master
's
slave
:
but
,
if
I
were
at
my
own
disposal
,
I
should
be
proud
to
devote
my
life
to
her
majesty
's
service
.
"
She
then
asked
my
master
,
"
whether
he
was
willing
to
sell
me
at
a
good
price
?
"
He
,
who
apprehended
I
could
not
live
a
month
,
was
ready
enough
to
part
with
me
,
and
demanded
a
thousand
pieces
of
gold
,
which
were
ordered
him
on
the
spot
,
each
piece
being
about
the
bigness
of
eight
hundred
moidores
;
but
allowing
for
the
proportion
of
all
things
between
that
country
and
Europe
,
and
the
high
price
of
gold
among
them
,
was
hardly
so
great
a
sum
as
a
thousand
guineas
would
be
in
England
.
I
then
said
to
the
queen
,
"
since
I
was
now
her
majesty
's
most
humble
creature
and
vassal
,
I
must
beg
the
favour
,
that
Glumdalclitch
,
who
had
always
tended
me
with
so
much
care
and
kindness
,
and
understood
to
do
it
so
well
,
might
be
admitted
into
her
service
,
and
continue
to
be
my
nurse
and
instructor
.
"
Her
majesty
agreed
to
my
petition
,
and
easily
got
the
farmer
's
consent
,
who
was
glad
enough
to
have
his
daughter
preferred
at
court
,
and
the
poor
girl
herself
was
not
able
to
hide
her
joy
.
My
late
master
withdrew
,
bidding
me
farewell
,
and
saying
he
had
left
me
in
a
good
service
;
to
which
I
replied
not
a
word
,
only
making
him
a
slight
bow
.
The
queen
observed
my
coldness
;
and
,
when
the
farmer
was
gone
out
of
the
apartment
,
asked
me
the
reason
.
I
made
bold
to
tell
her
majesty
,
"
that
I
owed
no
other
obligation
to
my
late
master
,
than
his
not
dashing
out
the
brains
of
a
poor
harmless
creature
,
found
by
chance
in
his
fields
:
which
obligation
was
amply
recompensed
,
by
the
gain
he
had
made
in
showing
me
through
half
the
kingdom
,
and
the
price
he
had
now
sold
me
for
.
That
the
life
I
had
since
led
was
laborious
enough
to
kill
an
animal
of
ten
times
my
strength
.
That
my
health
was
much
impaired
,
by
the
continual
drudgery
of
entertaining
the
rabble
every
hour
of
the
day
;
and
that
,
if
my
master
had
not
thought
my
life
in
danger
,
her
majesty
would
not
have
got
so
cheap
a
bargain
.
But
as
I
was
out
of
all
fear
of
being
ill-treated
under
the
protection
of
so
great
and
good
an
empress
,
the
ornament
of
nature
,
the
darling
of
the
world
,
the
delight
of
her
subjects
,
the
phoenix
of
the
creation
,
so
I
hoped
my
late
master
's
apprehensions
would
appear
to
be
groundless
;
for
I
already
found
my
spirits
revive
,
by
the
influence
of
her
most
august
presence
.
"
This
was
the
sum
of
my
speech
,
delivered
with
great
improprieties
and
hesitation
.
The
latter
part
was
altogether
framed
in
the
style
peculiar
to
that
people
,
whereof
I
learned
some
phrases
from
Glumdalclitch
,
while
she
was
carrying
me
to
court
.
The
queen
,
giving
great
allowance
for
my
defectiveness
in
speaking
,
was
,
however
,
surprised
at
so
much
wit
and
good
sense
in
so
diminutive
an
animal
.
She
took
me
in
her
own
hand
,
and
carried
me
to
the
king
,
who
was
then
retired
to
his
cabinet
.
His
majesty
,
a
prince
of
much
gravity
and
austere
countenance
,
not
well
observing
my
shape
at
first
view
,
asked
the
queen
after
a
cold
manner
"
how
long
it
was
since
she
grew
fond
of
a
splacnuck
?
"
for
such
it
seems
he
took
me
to
be
,
as
I
lay
upon
my
breast
in
her
majesty
's
right
hand
.
But
this
princess
,
who
has
an
infinite
deal
of
wit
and
humour
,
set
me
gently
on
my
feet
upon
the
scrutoire
,
and
commanded
me
to
give
his
majesty
an
account
of
myself
,
which
I
did
in
a
very
few
words
:
and
Glumdalclitch
who
attended
at
the
cabinet
door
,
and
could
not
endure
I
should
be
out
of
her
sight
,
being
admitted
,
confirmed
all
that
had
passed
from
my
arrival
at
her
father
's
house
.
The
king
,
although
he
be
as
learned
a
person
as
any
in
his
dominions
,
had
been
educated
in
the
study
of
philosophy
,
and
particularly
mathematics
;
yet
when
he
observed
my
shape
exactly
,
and
saw
me
walk
erect
,
before
I
began
to
speak
,
conceived
I
might
be
a
piece
of
clock-work
(
(
which
is
in
that
country
arrived
to
a
very
great
perfection
)
)
contrived
by
some
ingenious
artist
.
But
when
he
heard
my
voice
,
and
found
what
I
delivered
to
be
regular
and
rational
,
he
could
not
conceal
his
astonishment
.
He
was
by
no
means
satisfied
with
the
relation
I
gave
him
of
the
manner
I
came
into
his
kingdom
,
but
thought
it
a
story
concerted
between
Glumdalclitch
and
her
father
,
who
had
taught
me
a
set
of
words
to
make
me
sell
at
a
better
price
.
Upon
this
imagination
,
he
put
several
other
questions
to
me
,
and
still
received
rational
answers
:
no
otherwise
defective
than
by
a
foreign
accent
,
and
an
imperfect
knowledge
in
the
language
,
with
some
rustic
phrases
which
I
had
learned
at
the
farmer
's
house
,
and
did
not
suit
the
polite
style
of
a
court
.
