The
king
's
palace
is
no
regular
edifice
,
but
a
heap
of
buildings
,
about
seven
miles
round
:
the
chief
rooms
are
generally
two
hundred
and
forty
feet
high
,
and
broad
and
long
in
proportion
.
A
coach
was
allowed
to
Glumdalclitch
and
me
,
wherein
her
governess
frequently
took
her
out
to
see
the
town
,
or
go
among
the
shops
;
and
I
was
always
of
the
party
,
carried
in
my
box
;
although
the
girl
,
at
my
own
desire
,
would
often
take
me
out
,
and
hold
me
in
her
hand
,
that
I
might
more
conveniently
view
the
houses
and
the
people
,
as
we
passed
along
the
streets
.
I
reckoned
our
coach
to
be
about
a
square
of
Westminster-hall
,
but
not
altogether
so
high
:
however
,
I
can
not
be
very
exact
.
One
day
the
governess
ordered
our
coachman
to
stop
at
several
shops
,
where
the
beggars
,
watching
their
opportunity
,
crowded
to
the
sides
of
the
coach
,
and
gave
me
the
most
horrible
spectacle
that
ever
a
European
eye
beheld
.
There
was
a
woman
with
a
cancer
in
her
breast
,
swelled
to
a
monstrous
size
,
full
of
holes
,
in
two
or
three
of
which
I
could
have
easily
crept
,
and
covered
my
whole
body
.
There
was
a
fellow
with
a
wen
in
his
neck
,
larger
than
five
wool-packs
;
and
another
,
with
a
couple
of
wooden
legs
,
each
about
twenty
feet
high
.
But
the
most
hateful
sight
of
all
,
was
the
lice
crawling
on
their
clothes
.
I
could
see
distinctly
the
limbs
of
these
vermin
with
my
naked
eye
,
much
better
than
those
of
a
European
louse
through
a
microscope
,
and
their
snouts
with
which
they
rooted
like
swine
.
They
were
the
first
I
had
ever
beheld
,
and
I
should
have
been
curious
enough
to
dissect
one
of
them
,
if
I
had
had
proper
instruments
,
which
I
unluckily
left
behind
me
in
the
ship
,
although
,
indeed
,
the
sight
was
so
nauseous
,
that
it
perfectly
turned
my
stomach
.
Besides
the
large
box
in
which
I
was
usually
carried
,
the
queen
ordered
a
smaller
one
to
be
made
for
me
,
of
about
twelve
feet
square
,
and
ten
high
,
for
the
convenience
of
travelling
;
because
the
other
was
somewhat
too
large
for
Glumdalclitch
's
lap
,
and
cumbersome
in
the
coach
;
it
was
made
by
the
same
artist
,
whom
I
directed
in
the
whole
contrivance
.
This
travelling-closet
was
an
exact
square
,
with
a
window
in
the
middle
of
three
of
the
squares
,
and
each
window
was
latticed
with
iron
wire
on
the
outside
,
to
prevent
accidents
in
long
journeys
.
On
the
fourth
side
,
which
had
no
window
,
two
strong
staples
were
fixed
,
through
which
the
person
that
carried
me
,
when
I
had
a
mind
to
be
on
horseback
,
put
a
leathern
belt
,
and
buckled
it
about
his
waist
.
This
was
always
the
office
of
some
grave
trusty
servant
,
in
whom
I
could
confide
,
whether
I
attended
the
king
and
queen
in
their
progresses
,
or
were
disposed
to
see
the
gardens
,
or
pay
a
visit
to
some
great
lady
or
minister
of
state
in
the
court
,
when
Glumdalclitch
happened
to
be
out
of
order
;
for
I
soon
began
to
be
known
and
esteemed
among
the
greatest
officers
,
I
suppose
more
upon
account
of
their
majesties
'
favour
,
than
any
merit
of
my
own
.
In
journeys
,
when
I
was
weary
of
the
coach
,
a
servant
on
horseback
would
buckle
on
my
box
,
and
place
it
upon
a
cushion
before
him
;
and
there
I
had
a
full
prospect
of
the
country
on
three
sides
,
from
my
three
windows
.
I
had
,
in
this
closet
,
a
field-bed
and
a
hammock
,
hung
from
the
ceiling
,
two
chairs
and
a
table
,
neatly
screwed
to
the
floor
,
to
prevent
being
tossed
about
by
the
agitation
of
the
horse
or
the
coach
.
And
having
been
long
used
to
sea-voyages
,
those
motions
,
although
sometimes
very
violent
,
did
not
much
discompose
me
.
Whenever
I
had
a
mind
to
see
the
town
,
it
was
always
in
my
travelling-closet
;
which
Glumdalclitch
held
in
her
lap
in
a
kind
of
open
sedan
,
after
the
fashion
of
the
country
,
borne
by
four
men
,
and
attended
by
two
others
in
the
queen
's
livery
.
The
people
,
who
had
often
heard
of
me
,
were
very
curious
to
crowd
about
the
sedan
,
and
the
girl
was
complaisant
enough
to
make
the
bearers
stop
,
and
to
take
me
in
her
hand
,
that
I
might
be
more
conveniently
seen
.
I
was
very
desirous
to
see
the
chief
temple
,
and
particularly
the
tower
belonging
to
it
,
which
is
reckoned
the
highest
in
the
kingdom
.
Accordingly
one
day
my
nurse
carried
me
thither
,
but
I
may
truly
say
I
came
back
disappointed
;
for
the
height
is
not
above
three
thousand
feet
,
reckoning
from
the
ground
to
the
highest
pinnacle
top
;
which
,
allowing
for
the
difference
between
the
size
of
those
people
and
us
in
Europe
,
is
no
great
matter
for
admiration
,
nor
at
all
equal
in
proportion
(
(
if
I
rightly
remember
)
)
to
Salisbury
steeple
.
But
,
not
to
detract
from
a
nation
,
to
which
,
during
my
life
,
I
shall
acknowledge
myself
extremely
obliged
,
it
must
be
allowed
,
that
whatever
this
famous
tower
wants
in
height
,
is
amply
made
up
in
beauty
and
strength
:
for
the
walls
are
near
a
hundred
feet
thick
,
built
of
hewn
stone
,
whereof
each
is
about
forty
feet
square
,
and
adorned
on
all
sides
with
statues
of
gods
and
emperors
,
cut
in
marble
,
larger
than
the
life
,
placed
in
their
several
niches
.
I
measured
a
little
finger
which
had
fallen
down
from
one
of
these
statues
,
and
lay
unperceived
among
some
rubbish
,
and
found
it
exactly
four
feet
and
an
inch
in
length
.
Glumdalclitch
wrapped
it
up
in
her
handkerchief
,
and
carried
it
home
in
her
pocket
,
to
keep
among
other
trinkets
,
of
which
the
girl
was
very
fond
,
as
children
at
her
age
usually
are
.
The
king
's
kitchen
is
indeed
a
noble
building
,
vaulted
at
top
,
and
about
six
hundred
feet
high
.
The
great
oven
is
not
so
wide
,
by
ten
paces
,
as
the
cupola
at
St.
Paul
's
:
for
I
measured
the
latter
on
purpose
,
after
my
return
.
But
if
I
should
describe
the
kitchen
grate
,
the
prodigious
pots
and
kettles
,
the
joints
of
meat
turning
on
the
spits
,
with
many
other
particulars
,
perhaps
I
should
be
hardly
believed
;
at
least
a
severe
critic
would
be
apt
to
think
I
enlarged
a
little
,
as
travellers
are
often
suspected
to
do
.
To
avoid
which
censure
I
fear
I
have
run
too
much
into
the
other
extreme
;
and
that
if
this
treatise
should
happen
to
be
translated
into
the
language
of
Brobdingnag
(
(
which
is
the
general
name
of
that
kingdom
,
)
)
and
transmitted
thither
,
the
king
and
his
people
would
have
reason
to
complain
that
I
had
done
them
an
injury
,
by
a
false
and
diminutive
representation
.
His
majesty
seldom
keeps
above
six
hundred
horses
in
his
stables
:
they
are
generally
from
fifty-four
to
sixty
feet
high
.
But
,
when
he
goes
abroad
on
solemn
days
,
he
is
attended
,
for
state
,
by
a
military
guard
of
five
hundred
horse
,
which
,
indeed
,
I
thought
was
the
most
splendid
sight
that
could
be
ever
beheld
,
till
I
saw
part
of
his
army
in
battalia
,
whereof
I
shall
find
another
occasion
to
speak
.
I
should
have
lived
happy
enough
in
that
country
,
if
my
littleness
had
not
exposed
me
to
several
ridiculous
and
troublesome
accidents
;
some
of
which
I
shall
venture
to
relate
.
Glumdalclitch
often
carried
me
into
the
gardens
of
the
court
in
my
smaller
box
,
and
would
sometimes
take
me
out
of
it
,
and
hold
me
in
her
hand
,
or
set
me
down
to
walk
.
I
remember
,
before
the
dwarf
left
the
queen
,
he
followed
us
one
day
into
those
gardens
,
and
my
nurse
having
set
me
down
,
he
and
I
being
close
together
,
near
some
dwarf
apple
trees
,
I
must
needs
show
my
wit
,
by
a
silly
allusion
between
him
and
the
trees
,
which
happens
to
hold
in
their
language
as
it
does
in
ours
.
Whereupon
,
the
malicious
rogue
,
watching
his
opportunity
,
when
I
was
walking
under
one
of
them
,
shook
it
directly
over
my
head
,
by
which
a
dozen
apples
,
each
of
them
near
as
large
as
a
Bristol
barrel
,
came
tumbling
about
my
ears
;
one
of
them
hit
me
on
the
back
as
I
chanced
to
stoop
,
and
knocked
me
down
flat
on
my
face
;
but
I
received
no
other
hurt
,
and
the
dwarf
was
pardoned
at
my
desire
,
because
I
had
given
the
provocation
.
