7799Will no ship ever come to set me free?"
7799said Friday,"can we not help?
7799what are my dear parents saying?
6936All help is from thence, Sir,I said;"but what can I do to aid you?
6936And what should I do there?
6936Are not the boats lost on your shore now and then?
6936Can you fight?
6936Did you go up the hill to speak to him?
6936Did you not tell me you would like to go back?
6936Do they come here?
6936Have they fire- arms?
6936Have you been here with them twice?
6936How big is it?
6936I go? 6936 If this old man has made all things, why do not all things bow down to him?"
6936Need I add,said he,"that it was for this cause that I came here?"
6936No cross? 6936 Say you so?"
6936Then will you go back to your land with me?
6936Well, and what do the men do with those they take?
6936Well, then,said I,"How came they to let their foes take you?"
6936Well, what think you, Friday?
6936What ails you?
6936What do Okes say to him?
6936What do you mean? 6936 What do you see?"
6936What would you do there? 6936 Where do the men in your land go when they die?"
6936Where have they gone?
6936Why Sir, will you go to sea no more then?
6936Why have you built all these forts?
6936Why should you go?
6936Why, you grieve mad with your man?
6936And what had they come for?
6936And who is that?
6936Are not their ways a sign that God has left them( with the rest of their tribe) to their own dull hearts?
6936At last a Scot on board said in my own tongue,"Who are you?
6936But how was I to get on deck?
6936But how was my raft to be got to land?
6936But how were we to know this?
6936But we had not gone far, when my old qualms came back to me, and I thought,"Is it for me to dip my hands in man''s blood?
6936Bye- and- bye, I stole a look round me, but no one was in sight, What could this mean?
6936Could I have come this way from the boat?
6936Do you think you could get some?
6936How came you here?"
6936How could aught in the shape of a man come to that shore, and I not know it?
6936How could it have come there?
6936I put this to him:"Could I go from this isle and join those men?"
6936I said,"Do you not wish to be once more in your own land?"
6936I went up to these men, and said:"Who are you, Sirs?"
6936It fell out just as I could wish, for I heard the men ask,"To whom must we yield, and where are they?"
6936It now grew dark; and where was I to go for the night?
6936Nay, why should the mere sight of the print of a man''s foot, make me quake with fear?
6936Now will you stand by me, and do just as you are bid?"
6936One day I said to my slave,"Do you know who made you?"
6936One day I said,"Do the men of your tribe win in fight?"
6936Shall I go home thought I, or shall I go to sea?
6936So I said,"Do you know who made the sea, the ground we tread on, the hills, and woods?"
6936The tears ran down the poor man''s face, as he said,"Is this a god, or is it but a man?"
6936Then some voice would seem to say,"Dost thou ask why God hath done this to thee?
6936Then the voice said,"Where are you?
6936This was not good news for me, but I went on, and said,"Where do they take them?"
6936Too ill to get out with my gun, I sat on the shore to think, and thus ran my thoughts:"What is this sea which is all round me?
6936What are their ports, with a few junks and barks, to our grand fleets?
6936What could a man do more than that?
6936What could this mean?
6936What is their trade to ours, or to that of France and Spain?
6936What was to be done?
6936Whence do you come?"
6936Where have you been?
6936Where was the ship that brought him?
6936Where were the men who had brought them?
6936Why did he strain his eyes to stare at this land, as if he had a wish to be there?
6936Why send your man home to his own land, then?"
6936Why should I kill those who have done me no harm, and mean not to hurt me?
6936Why, then, should the thought that a man might be near give me all this pain?
6936Would you turn wild, and be as you were?"
6936and whence is it?
6936no cross with me?
6936said I,"can we take it on the back of a horse?"
6936said I;"Why should not I go, and you stay in the boat?"
6936said I;"shall we find those whom we left still here?--Shall we see poor old Jaf?"
11239And where, Sir,said I,"is your belief of my being preserved here on purpose to save your life, which elevated you a little while ago?
11239Are you ready, Friday?
11239For what, Xury?
11239Look you, Sir,said I,"if I venture upon your deliverance, are you willing to make two conditions with me?"
11239So you kill them?
11239Well then,said I,"leave the rest to me; I see they are all asleep, it is an easy thing to kill them all: but shall we rather take them prisoners?"
11239Well,said I to him,"Friday, what will you do now?
11239Well,says Friday,"but you say God is so strong, so great; is he not much strong, much might as the devil?"
11239What must I do with this?
11239What must I kill you for?
11239What would you do there?
11239--"A cap- full do you call it?"
11239--"A storm, you fool you,"replied he,"do you call that a storm?
11239--"All help is from Heaven, Sir,"said I:"But can you put a stranger in the way how to help you?
11239--"But,"says he again,"if God much stronger, much might as the devil, why God no kill the devil, so make him no more do wicked?"
11239--"Have they any fire- arms?"
11239--"What is that?"
11239--"What''s the matter, Friday?"
11239--"Where are these brutes, your enemies?"
11239--"Who must we yield to?
11239--"Why, Friday,"says I,"do you think they are going to eat them then?"
11239--"Why,"says I,"Friday, did not you say you wished you were there?"
11239--"Will they give us quarter then?"
11239And how was it possible a man should come there?
11239And what am I, and all the other creatures, wild and tame, human and brutal?
11239And who is that?
11239As I sat here, some such thoughts as these occurred to me: What is this earth and sea, of which I have seen so much?
11239As to my boat, it was a very good one; and that he saw, and told me he would buy it of me for the ship''s use; and asked me what I would have for it?
11239Ask, why is it that thou wert not long ago destroyed?
11239Bob, Come, let us make a bowl of punch, and we''ll forget all that; do you see what charming weather it is now?"
11239But I am cast on an island where I see no wild beast to hurt me, as I saw on the coast of Africa: and what if I had been shipwrecked there?
11239But all I could make use of was all that was valuable: I had enough to eat and supply my wants, and what was the rest to me?
11239But what need I have been concerned at the tediousness of any thing I had to do, seeing I had time enough to do it in?
11239But why did not your side recover you from the hands of your enemies then?
11239Did not you come eleven of you into the boat?
11239Do they carry them away and eat them, as these did?
11239Do they come hither?
11239Dost_ thou_ ask what thou hast done?"
11239Have I done my part?
11239Have I not been delivered, and wonderfully too, from sickness; from the most distressed condition that could be, and that was so frightful to me?
11239Have you been here with them?
11239He asked me again,"Why you angry mad with Friday?
11239He returns very quick,"What you send Friday away for?
11239He said, Yes; they all went to Benamuckee: then I asked him whether these they eat up went thither too?
11239He told upon his fingers seventeen, I asked him then what became of them?
11239How beat?
11239How came you here?"
11239I asked him how it came to pass they did not kill them, and eat them?
11239I asked him how many?
11239I asked him if either of them were the heads of the mutiny?
11239I asked him if ever he went thither to speak to him?
11239I asked him if the people who die in his country went away any where?
11239I asked him then, if this old person had made all things, why did not all things worship him?
11239I asked him what it was he studied upon?
11239I asked him what was the matter with him?
11239I asked him what was the matter?
11239I asked him which they were?
11239I asked him why he would go?
11239I came as near them undiscovered as I could, and then, before any of them saw me, I called aloud to them in Spanish,"What are ye, gentlemen?"
11239I warrant you were frightened, wa''n''t you, last night, when it blew but a cap- full of wind?"
11239I was sincerely affected with this discourse, as indeed who could be otherwise?
11239If I should be sick, I shall certainly die for want of help; and what will become of me?"
11239If your nation beat them, how came you to be taken?
11239Immediately it followed, Why has God done this to me?
11239Is it a real man or an angel?"
11239Is it better to be here or there?"
11239Look back upon a dreadful misspent life, and ask thyself, what thou hast_ not_ done?
11239Pray,"continues he,"what are you; and on what account did you go to sea?"
11239So when he was in, I said to him,"Well, now, Friday, shall we go to your nation?"
11239The poor man, with tears running down his face, and trembling, looking like one astonished, returned,"Am I talking to God or man?
11239Then I presently asked him, if there were any white mans, as he called them, in the boat?
11239Tom Smith answered immediately,"Is that Robinson?"
11239Upon this Will Atkins cried out,"For God''s sake, captain, give me quarter; what have I done?
11239Well, Friday, and what does your nation do with the men they take?
11239What have I done to be thus used?
11239What is your case?"
11239What marks were there of any other footsteps?
11239When this was past, the old man asked me if he should put me into a method to make my claim to my plantation?
11239Whence are we?
11239Whence is it produced?
11239Where are the ten?
11239Where are they?"
11239Where are you, Robin Crusoe?
11239Where are you?
11239Where are you?
11239Where do they carry them?
11239Where have you been?
11239Where was the vessel that brought them?
11239Why do n''t you shoot him?"
11239Why were not they saved, and you lost?
11239Why were you singled out?
11239You always fight the better; how came you to be taken prisoner then, Friday?
11239and how did I come here?
11239and what notice have I taken of it?
11239and where had I been?
11239and why I might not order myself and my business so, that I might be as able to go over thither as they were to come to me?
11239dost_ thou_ ask what thou hast done?
11239how far off the coast was, from whence they came?
11239how was it possible I could get on shore?
11239me no understand: but why not kill the devil now; not kill great ago?"
11239said I aloud,"what art thou good for?
11239said I:"Do you know where they are gone?"
11239said I:"would you turn wild again, eat men''s flesh again, and be a savage as you were before?"
11239says I,"what shall I do there?"
11239says he, repeating the words several times,"why send Friday home away to my nation?"
11239so I began to say, Can even God himself deliver me from this place?
11239what kind of boats they had?
11239what me done?"
11239what they ventured over so far from home for?
11239why I should not go, and he stay in the boat?
561But how can you expect that of them?
561But how,says he,"shall we obtain that of them?"
561But what must they do then, seignior?
561But, Will,said I,"how comes the sense of this matter to touch you just now?"
561But, my friend,added I,"will you give me leave to start one difficulty here?
561But,said I,"can you not take me up again on your return?"
561Come, Jack,says one of the men,"will you go with me?
561Lord, sir,says Will Atkins,"how should we teach them religion?
561Pray, sir,said he,"what do you think I consented to go in your ship to the East Indies for?"
561Say you so?
561Seignior,said I, in Portuguese,"do you not know me?"
561Speak out, my dear,said I;"are you willing I should go?"
561Well, Friday,says I,"do you think we shall find anybody here or no?
561Well, but Seignior Atkins,says the Spaniard,"what have we done to you that you will kill us?
561Well, well, Friday, you do n''t know; but shall we see any one else, then?
561Well,says I,"are not the materials of their buildings the products of their own country, and so it is all China ware, is it not?"
561What is the matter, Friday? 561 Why so, Friday?
561Why, father,says my partner,"should you desire our company so much?
561Why, sir,says he,"you do n''t want to be left there again, I hope?"
561--"But what can be done now?"
561--"If am of your mind,"said I;"but what must be done?"--"Done?"
561--"My heart glad,"says I;"what can that be?
561--"No,"said I;"but why did I never lay it to heart as well as you?"
561--"Oh,"says he,"you may perhaps be good Catholics in time; my business here is to convert heathens, and who knows but I may convert you too?"
561--"Past it, Atkins?"
561--"Say you so?"
561--"Very well, father,"said I,"so you will preach to us all the way?"
561--"Well,"said I,"and what is that to me?"
561--"Well,"said I,"you have been very kind in this: what shall I do to make you amends?"
561--"Well,"says I,"such a thing may be; how big is it?
561--"What do you mean by that?"
561--"What is that?"
561--"Why, sir,"says he,"do you know what you do, or what they have done?
561--"Why,"said I,"will it make you sorry?"
561--"Why,"says he,"you are no pirates; what need you fear?
561--"Will you give me leave to talk with these poor men about it?"
561And what must we do to prevent you killing us?
561Another of the brutes returned,"Do?
561Any one may guess what a surprise I was in at so insolent a message; and I asked the man who bade him deliver that message to me?
561As soon as I saw the place I called for Friday, and asked him if he knew where he was?
561But now the admiration was turned upon another question-- What could be the matter, and what made them come back again?
561Can He tell?
561Can we carry it in a box upon a camel?
561Can you give me no further light into it?"
561Could you make her understand what you meant by inheritance and families?
561Does he think he is able to sin beyond the power or reach of divine mercy?
561He no hear you curse, swear, speak de great damn?
561He turned short upon me, and asked me what I called a venture?
561How He bid you?
561How shall me know who makee me?
561I asked her why she did not go on, and say out what she was going to say?
561I paused a while at his words, and looking steadily at him,"What devil,"said I,"sent you on this unlucky errand?"
561I say, what was this gain to me?
561I suppose you do not think you are a match for them?"
561Is he easy that it is too late; or is he troubled, and wishes it were not so?"
561Must we kill you, or you kill us?
561No do good ting for Him?
561No say O to Him?
561One of the Englishmen returned very briskly,"What had they to do there?
561Otherwise, what are their buildings to the palaces and royal buildings of Europe?
561Sure He no tell what you do?
561The Spaniard, pausing a while, says to him,"How do you mean-- you can not tell who?
561The next question was, what should be done with them?
561The old man said he knew the Gulf of Nankin very well; but smiling, asked us what we would do there?
561The whole world is in motion; why should we be idle?"
561Then the Englishmen asked the Spaniards if they designed to take any of them?
561We asked him what made them come up to us?
561What are their cities to ours, for wealth, strength, gaiety of apparel, rich furniture, and infinite variety?
561What are their ports, supplied with a few junks and barks, to our navigation, our merchant fleets, our large and powerful navies?
561What can they have to say to me?"
561What have you to say to that?"
561What is all that?
561What is the matter?"
561What their trade to the universal commerce of England, Holland, France, and Spain?
561What then can any one say against being very sensible of the value of such a man, notwithstanding his profession?
561What way you know Him?
561What would you get by killing us?
561What you call dat?
561What you hear Him speak?
561What you hold up the hand for?
561What you say?
561When He bid you?
561When he said kings, we asked him how many kings?
561When the Spanish governor heard this, he calls to Will Atkins,"How, Seignior Atkins, would you murder us all?
561Who you speak to?
561Why He no makee you good live?
561Why will you put us to the necessity of this, Seignior Atkins?"
561You no tell Him thankee for all that too?
561You shall be captain, I''ll be merchant, and we''ll go a trading voyage to China; for what should we stand still for?
561_ R.C._--But did you tell her what marriage was?
561_ R.C._--But tell us some of it: how did you begin, Will?
561_ R.C._--Well, what did she say to what you told her?
561_ W.A._--What, will my wicked life hinder you from believing in God?
561_ Wife_.--Bid you pray?
561_ Wife_.--But how you makee me know that God teachee them to write that book?
561_ Wife_.--But now He hear what you say?
561_ Wife_.--But then do you not tell God thankee for that too?
561_ Wife_.--But why God let you do so?
561_ Wife_.--But you say me He is great, much great, have much great power; can makee kill when He will: why He no makee kill when you no serve Him?
561_ Wife_.--Can He do that too?
561_ Wife_.--How me tink you have great much God up there[ she points up to heaven], and yet no do well, no do good ting?
561_ Wife_.--Me no understand that; where is book?
561_ Wife_.--No laugh; why laugh me?
561_ Wife_.--Well, and yet no kill, no makee you dead: what you say to Him for that?
561_ Wife_.--What rule?
561_ Wife_.--What say you O to Him for?
561_ Wife_.--What you put down the knee for?
561_ Wife_.--What, have you a great God in your country, you no know Him?
561_ Wife_.--Where be then the much great power strong?
561_ Wife_.--Why He no makee you much good better?
561_ Wife_.--Why you no tell me long ago?
561_ Wife_.--Why you say you God makee all?
561and do you think we shall see your father?"
561are you sure it is true?"
561are you troubled because you may see your father?"
561how do you know that?"
561no be good mans?
561no say O to Him?
561said I:"what dost thou mean by that?"
561said I;"what do you mean by that?"
561said I;"what do you mean by that?"
561says he;"what do you mean by that?
11866And where,said I,"do the people of your country go when they die?"
11866And will you deliver one message from me to them?
11866Are you certain of this?
11866Fridaysaid I"you may as well ask me why God does not kill you and me, when, by our wicked actions, we so much offend his divine Majesty?
11866Friday,I said,"who is it that made the sea, this ground whereon we walk, and all the hills and woods which we behold?"
11866Prithee, Will Atkins,said I,"what education have you?
11866Siranswered I,"will you take the same resolution?"
11866Supposing I do n''t, Xury,said I,"and in the morning we should see men who are worse than those we fear, what then?"
11866The Englishmen inquired how long it was since they had a feast of that kind? 11866 What, and those people that are eaten up, do they go there?"
11866What,said I,( as though ignorant of what had happened)"did they kill the Captain?"
11866Why, Seignor,( said I), what shall be done in this case?
11866Will you,said I"go back again, Friday?"
11866& what signs of any other footsteps?
11866''And do you think they will eat them Friday?''
11866''And what do they intend to do there?''
11866''Are your enemies gone?''
11866''Friday,''said I,''what do you think, shall we go to see your father?''
11866''Friday,''said I,''what is it you mean?
11866''Supposing, said I, I should make a proposal, and invite them here, would they not carry me prisoner to New Spain?''
11866''Well Friday,''said I,''what do you think of it now?
11866)__ Wife._ What you put down knee for?
11866*****_ The DIALOGUE between WILL ATKINS and his Wife in the wood.__ Wife._ You tell me marriage God appoint, have you God in your country?
11866--"And do you"cried I,"call such a violent storm a capful of wind?"
11866--_Weigh,_ said he,_ what is the meaning of this hurry_?
11866Accordingly he called out aloud,_ Tom Smith, Tom Smith!_ He answered,_ Who''s that?
11866After this I called Friday to me, and asked him if he had given his father any bread?
11866Am I wanted there?
11866And here I fixed my firm belief that it was his will that it should be so; and then proceeded to enquire, why should God deal with me in this manner?
11866And now I made Friday inquire of his father, whether he thought these savages had escaped the late storm in their canoe?
11866And when I asked him what became of them all, and whether they lived or not?
11866And when I asked whether he was in earnest?
11866And will he hear what you say?
11866And would you venture here without considering what strength you have to engage them_?
11866Are all my family well?
11866Ask thyself, why thou wert not long ago in the merciless hands of death?
11866At first the innocent creature did not understand what I meant, but rather thought I asked him who was his father?
11866At last, said I,"Friday, what makes you ponder so much?"
11866Atkins,_ said I,_ what do you mean?
11866But how far will the ardency of desire prompt us on?
11866But pray what are you, and on what account did you go to sea?"
11866But then this objection reasonably interposed:_ how can I effect this,_ thought I,_ without I attack a whole company of them, and kill them all?
11866But then_ thought I,_ how shall I manage myself when I come thither?
11866But to wave this discourse of Heathens, how many self- contradicting principles are there held among Christians?
11866But what does all human pains and industry avail, if the blessing of God does not crown our labours?
11866But what have we done to you, Seignor Atkins_, said I,_ or what will you gain by killing us?
11866But what is that Power?
11866But where were my labours to end?
11866But, Will, how comes the sense of this matter to touch you just now?
11866But, said I, with what conscience can you call these your wives, by whom you have so many children, and yet are not lawfully married?
11866Can you fight Friday?
11866Do they carry them away and eat them as these have done_?
11866Do you think this will carry us over?
11866Does he think he is beyond the power of Divine mercy?
11866For otherwise how could any mortal come to this island?
11866For what hold up hand?
11866Friday,"said I,"what shall I do there?"
11866From whence came myself, and all other creatures living, and of what are they made?
11866Hark ye_, says he to his friend,_ is all well at London?
11866He replied in a very soft and moving tone,_ What has poor Friday done?
11866Hereupon, I asked them, where there new family was?
11866How came it to pass that they did not kill and eat them, to please their devouring appetites, and occasion to splendid an entertainment among them?"
11866How can be sweeten the bitterest providences, and give us reason to magnify him in dungeons and prisons?
11866How can me tink your God lives there?
11866How can we talk to our wives of God, Jesus Christ, heaven, and hell?
11866How mercifully can the omnipotent Power comfort his creatures, even in the midst of their greatest calamities?
11866I am no interloper, and what business have they with me?"
11866I asked him the meaning of all these fortifications?
11866I asked him whether that nation to which he belonged, ever conquered in battle?
11866I asked him why he would go and not I?
11866I asked myself, what regard have I had to God for his abundant mercies?
11866I then asked the Captain, which way he thought best for us to manage the battle?
11866I was then mad at the bird, and putting on my clothes, cried,_ I am terribly frighted.__ What''s the matter with you_?
11866I went to bed again, but it was all one, I could not sleep; when one of my Spaniards, hearing me walk about, asked who it was up?
11866If any man ask me, Why our differences can not be ended on earth?
11866Immediately I gave him a dram; and a piece of bread to cherish him, and asked him, What countryman he was?
11866In two canoes, thought I, what does my man mean?
11866In what manner is the production of the earth and sea, of which I have seen so much?
11866Is there not God to converse to, and is not he able to relieve thee?
11866It might be a question, why there are such differences in religious points, and why these breaches should be more hot and irreconcileable?
11866It was some time before he could speak a word, which made me ask him, what was the matter with him?
11866Look on your past life, and see what you have left undone?
11866Must we kill you, or you kill us?
11866No be good mans, no cry O to him?
11866No do good ting?
11866No say O to him?
11866No sooner did I see the place, but calling for Friday, I asked him where he was?
11866Now tell me if you will do the like by me, and, obey my orders in whatsoever I command?''
11866O where dat good book?
11866One time our leader, for the day, gave us leave to go a hunting; but what do you think we hunted?
11866One time, as I very well remember, I asked him who made him?
11866Or did you ask me to go with you on any particular account?
11866Or who can stand before the Almighty, when he stretcheth forth his arm?
11866Pray tell a mee, did God, teachee them write that book?
11866Shall we have quarter then?_ said he.
11866The Englishmen then asked my Spaniards,''whether they designed to take any of them?
11866The trial of honesty is this: Did you ever want bread, and had your neighbour''s loaf in keeping, and would starve rather than eat it?
11866There is another question, pertinent to the former, and that is,_ What remedy can we apply to this malady_?
11866This question I put fairly to Atkins, who replied in a passion,_ How can I be easy in a state which I know must terminate in my ruin?
11866To answer the last question, Why people are not equally supplied?
11866Were you ever arrested, having in your custody another man''s cash, and would rather go to gaol, than break it?
11866What I do you hear him speak?
11866What me done, O what me done?_"Friday,"said I,"you never yet have offended me, what makes you think I am angry with you, when I am not angry at all."
11866What must I do with this?''
11866What say you?
11866What shall we do to prevent you?
11866What was all the rest to me?
11866What was your father?"
11866What way, what rule you know him?
11866Where are the Englishmen?_ said I.
11866Where are you, Robinson Crusoe?
11866Where are you?
11866Where have you been_?
11866Who can conceive the present anguish of my mind at this calamity?
11866Who is their so ignorant as not to judge of my dreadful condition?
11866Who must we surrender to?_ says Smith.
11866Who you speak to?
11866Why not drowned in Yarmouth roads, or killed in the fight, when the ship was taken by the Sallee man of war?
11866Why not listen to it as to a voice?
11866Why, were you singled out to be saved and the rest destroyed?
11866You fool_, said I,_ what do you mean?
11866_ And have you been with them here, Friday_?
11866_ Are you of human kind or an angel_?
11866_ But, Lord, Sir,_ said Will Atkins to me_ how could we teach them religion, who know nothing of it ourselves?
11866_ Do they bring them hither_?
11866_ Happy, thrice happy desert_, said I,_ shall I never see thee more?__ Wretched creature!
11866_ How say you, beat?
11866_ O master, we save white mans from drown;_ upon which I immediately asked him, If there were any white mans, as he called them in the boat?
11866_ Only kill Friday_, said he,_ Friday care not live long._''''But what must I kill you for?
11866_ R.C._ Well, and what did she say to all this?
11866_ R.C._ What, did you kill him with your hands?
11866_ Seignor_, said I, in Portuguese,_ do n''t you know me_?
11866_ Then why did not your men recover you from the hands of your enemies?_ Friday.
11866_ To what place do they carry them to be devoured_?
11866_ What devil or spirit_, said I,_ sent you with this unlucky errand_?
11866_ What will you do there_?
11866_ What_, said the gentleman,_ is there any occasion for me?
11866_ Why_, says he_ what occasion is there for peaceable merchants to fear?
11866_ Wife._ And can he do that too?
11866_ Wife._ But if he is much great, can makee kill, why no makee kill when no serve him?
11866_ Wife._ Did not you tell God thanked for that?
11866_ Wife._ Mercy I what you call mercy?
11866_ Wife._ Well, and yet no makee you dead; and you give him no tankee neither?
11866_ Wife._ What, not know great God in own nation?
11866_ Wife._ When did he bid you pray?
11866_ Wife._ Where then makee power strong, when he hears you curse, swear de great damn?
11866_ Wife._ Why God suffer them?
11866_ Wife._ Why you no tell me much long ago?
11866_ Wife._ Why, you say, he makee you, why makee you no much better then?
11866_ Yes, yes_, said he,_ the boat full, very full of white mans_"How many, Friday?"
11866_ Yes,_ said he,_ me much O glad to be at my own nation._"And what would you do there, Friday?
11866_''Tis very well, Friday; but what does your nation do with the prisoners they take?
11866and if God does not forsake, what matters it, since he can me more happy in this state of life, than if I enjoyed the greatest splendour in the world?
11866and if so, whether they would not return with a power too great for us to resist?
11866he long ago die, die long ago: he much old man._''You do n''t know that,''said I,''but shall we see anybody else?''
11866how came you here_?
11866how dare you ask what you have done?
11866if your nation beat them, how came you to be taken_?
11866must my wicked life hinder you from believing in him?
11866or how can such proud, conceited and cruel bigots, prescribe rules to the justice and mercy of God?
11866or how shall I escape from them if they make an attempt upon me?
11866or what comfort is there of the life he lives?
11866said I,"what danger?
11866said he,"sure you was not frightened last night with scarce a capful of wind?"
11866simple vanity_ said I_ whom this world so much dotes on, where is now thy virtue, thy excellency to me?
11866what will become of me if I fall into the hands of the savages?
11866where have you been?
11866where was the ship that transported them?
11866why are you angry mad with poor servant?
11866why makee not live well?
11866why would you have them to eat me up, and devour your kind master?"
11866wither am I going?
12623And where, Sir,said I,"is your belief of my being preserved here on purpose to save your life, which elevated you a little while ago?
12623Are you ready, Friday?
12623But, Will,said I,"how comes the sense of this matter to touch you just now?"
12623But, my friend,said I,"will you give me liberty to start one difficulty here?
12623But, my lord,said I,"shall I take the liberty to ask you a question?"
12623But,said I to him,"you say the pirate is gone out of these seas; how can they meet with him then?"
12623But,said I,"Friday, we must resolve to fight them: can you fight, Friday?"
12623Come, Jack,says one of the men,"will you go with me?
12623For what, Xury?
12623Have they any fire- arms?
12623If it very nearly concerns me,said I,"and not yourself, what moves you to tell it me?"
12623If the door of your liberty was opened,said I,"would not you take hold of it to deliver yourself from this exile?"
12623Look you, Sir,said I,"if I venture upon your deliverance, are you willing to make two conditions with me?"
12623Pray, Sir,said he,"what do you think I consented to go in your ship to the East Indies for?"
12623Say you so?
12623Seignior,said I, in Portuguese,"do you not know me?"
12623So you kill them?
12623That''s true, Sir,said Atkins;"but with what face can I say any thing to my wife of all this, when she will tell me immediately it can not be true?"
12623Well, Friday,said I,"do you think we shall find any body here, or no?
12623Well, but Seignior Atkins,said the Spaniard,"what have we done to you that you will kill us?
12623Well,said I to him,"Friday, what will you do now?
12623Well,said I,"are not the materials of their building the product of their own country; and so it is all China ware, is it not?"
12623Well,said I,"you have been very kind in this: what shall I do for you to make you amends?"
12623What do you mean by that?
12623What is the matter, Friday?
12623What must I do with this?
12623What must I kill you for?
12623Where are those brutes, your enemies,said I;"do you know where they are gone?"
12623Who must we yield to? 12623 Why, Father Simon,"says my partner,"why should you desire our company so much?
12623Why, Sir,says he,"do you know what you do, or what they have done?
12623Why, Sir,says he,"you do n''t want to be left there again, I hope?"
12623Why,said I,"will it make you sorry?"
12623Will they give us quarter then?
12623--"A capful do you call it?"
12623--"A storm you fool you,"replied he,"do you call that a storm?
12623--"At whose request?"
12623--"But how can you expect that of them?
12623--"But what can be done now?"
12623--"But what must they do then, Seignior?"
12623--"But,"says he again,"if God much strong, much might, as the devil, why God not kill the devil, so make him no more wicked?"
12623--"I am of your mind,"said I:"but what course must be done?"--"Done?"
12623--"My heart glad,"said I;"what can that be?
12623--"Nay then,"says the Spaniard,"why are you concerned?
12623--"No,"said I;"but why did I never lay it to heart as well as you?"
12623--"Say you so?"
12623--"Well then,"said I,"leave the rest to me; I see they are all asleep, it is an easy thing to kill them all; but shall we rather take them prisoners?"
12623--"Well, well,"said I,"Friday, you do n''t know; but shall we see any one else then?"
12623--"Well,"said I,"and what is that to me?"
12623--"Well,"said I,"and will you deliver one message to them from me?"
12623--"Well,"said I,"such a thing may be: how big is it?
12623--"What is that?"
12623--"What would you do there?"
12623--"What''s that?"
12623--"What''s the matter, Friday?"
12623--"Why so,"said I,"Friday?
12623--"Why, Sir,"said I,"will you go to sea no more?"
12623--"Why,"said I,"Friday, did you not say you wished you were there?"
12623--"Why,"said I,"can you not take me up again in your return?"
12623--"Why,"said I,"how would they use me?"
12623--"Why,"said he,"you are no pirates, what need you fear?
12623--"Will you give me leave,"said he,"to talk with these poor men about it?"
12623And here he added, with some warmth,"How, Sir, is God honoured in this unlawful liberty?
12623And how was it possible a man should come there?
12623And what am I, and all the other creatures, wild and tame, human and brutal?
12623And what must we do to prevent your killing us?
12623And what would you get by killing us?
12623Any one may guess what a surprise I was in at so insolent a message; and I asked the man who bade him deliver that errand to me?
12623As I sat here, some such thoughts as these occurred to me: What is the earth and sea, of which I have seen so much?
12623As he passed me, I spoke to him, and asked him whither he went?
12623As soon as I saw the place, I called for Friday, and asked him, if he knew where he was?
12623As to my boat, it was a very good one, and that he saw, and told me he would buy it of me for the ship''s use, and asked me what I would have for it?
12623But I perceived her heart was too full, and some tears stood in her eyes:"Speak out, my dear,"said I;"are you willing I should go?"
12623But all I could make use of, was all that was valuable: I had enough to eat, and to supply my wants, and what was all the rest to me?
12623But what need I have been concerned at the tediousness of any thing I had to do, seeing I had time enough to do it in?
12623But what signified all the astonishment and reflection of thoughts?
12623But why did not your side recover you from the hands of your enemies then?
12623Can he tell?
12623Can you give me no farther light into it?"
12623Come, let us make a bowl of punch, and we''ll forget all that; do you see what charming weather it is now?"
12623Could you make her understand what you meant by inheritance and families?
12623Did not you come eleven of you into the boat?
12623Did you believe me, my friend, to be an honest man, or did you think me to be a boasting hypocrite?"
12623Do they carry them away, and eat them as these did?
12623Do they come hither?
12623Do you know, Sir,"said he,"the town of Cambodia lies about fifteen leagues up this river?
12623Does he think he is able to sin beyond the power or reach of divine mercy?
12623Dost thou ask, What have I done?"
12623For how should any other thing in human shape come into the place?
12623Have I not been delivered, and wonderfully too, from sickness?
12623Have you been here with them?
12623Having made some noise with rising and walking about, going out and coming in, another of them waked, and, calling, asked who it was that was up?
12623He agreed presently in that;"if,"said he,"they will do their part; but how,"says he,"shall we obtain that of them?"
12623He asked me again thus,"Why you angry mad with Friday?
12623He turned short upon me, and asked me what I called a venture?
12623How beat?
12623How came you here?"
12623How can you think, but that, let the time past lie on whom it will, all the guilt for the future will lie entirely upon you?
12623How did you begin Will?
12623How he bid you?
12623I asked her why she did not go on, and say out what she was going to say?
12623I asked her, if she would be married to me our way?
12623I asked him then, if this old person had made all things, why did not all things worship him?
12623I asked him then, what became of them?
12623I asked him what he thought would become of them there; and if they had formed no design of making any escape?
12623I asked him why he would go?
12623I asked him, how it came to pass they did not kill them, and eat them?
12623I asked him, if either of them were the men who he had said were the heads of the mutiny?
12623I asked him, if ever he went thither to speak to him?
12623I asked him, if the people who die in his country, went away any where?
12623I asked him, what he meant?
12623I asked him, what was the matter with him?
12623I asked him, which they were?
12623I asked if they were together now?
12623I asked our guides, whose dominion this was in?
12623I asked them, what put them upon all these fortifications?
12623I came as near them undiscovered as I could, and then before any of them saw me, I called aloud to them in Spanish,"What are ye gentlemen?"
12623I debated this very often with myself thus: How do I know what God himself judges in this particular case?
12623I paused awhile at his words, and looking steadily at him,"What devil,"said I,"sent you of this unlucky errand?"
12623I say, what was this gain to me?
12623I suppose you do not think you are a match for them?"
12623I warrant you were frighted, wa''n''t you, last night, when it blew but a capful of wind?"
12623I was sincerely affected with this discourse, as indeed who could be otherwise?
12623Immediately it followed, Why has God done this to me?
12623Is it a real man, or an angel?"
12623Is it better to be here or there?"
12623It was not long before they brought the men in; and inquiring where they had been, and what they had been doing?
12623Must we kill you, or will you kill us?
12623Nay, is it not infinitely of more worth to save so many souls than my life is, or the life of twenty more of the same profession?
12623No do good ting for him?
12623No say O to him?
12623One of the Englishmen returned very briskly,"What had they to do there?
12623Otherwise, what are their buildings to the palaces and royal buildings of Europe?
12623Our men seeing so many of them began to be frighted, for we lay but in an ill posture to fight, and cried out to us to know what they should do?
12623Pray,"continues he,"what are you?
12623Robinson?"
12623She asked me, what way that was?
12623So I asked him, whether, if I resolved to defend him, he would defend me, and stand by me, and do just as I bade him?
12623So I began to say, Can God himself deliver me from this place?
12623Sure we are all made by some secret Power, who formed the earth and sea, the air and sky; and who is that?
12623The Spaniard pausing a while, says to him,"How do you mean, you can not tell who?
12623The next question was, what should be done with them?
12623The old man said he knew the gulf of Nanquin very well; but smiling, asked us what we would do there?
12623Then I asked him, if he had given his father any bread?
12623Then I asked him, if he would go back to them?
12623Then I asked him, whether those they ate up, went thither too?
12623Then I presently asked him, if there, were white mans, as he called them, in the boat?
12623Then the Englishmen asked the Spaniards if they designed to take any of them?
12623There are no drones,"says he,"living in the world but men: why should we be of that number?"
12623Tom Smith answered immediately,"Who''s that?
12623Upon seeing this boat, Friday stood musing a great while, and said nothing; I asked him what it was he studied upon?
12623Upon this I inquired of him more critically, what was become of them?
12623Upon this Will Atkins cried out,"For God''s sake, captain, give me quarter: what have I done?
12623We asked him, What made them come up to us?
12623Well, Friday, and what does your nation do with the men they take?
12623What are their ports, supplied with a few junks and barks, to our navigation, our merchants''fleets, our large and powerful navies?
12623What could be the matter, and what made them come back again?
12623What have I done to be thus used?
12623What have you to say to that?"
12623What is that?
12623What is the matter?"
12623What marks were there of any other footsteps?
12623What their cities to ours, for wealth, strength, gaiety of apparel, rich furniture, and an infinite variety?
12623What their trade to the universal commerce of England, Holland, France, and Spain?
12623What then can any one say against my being very sensible of the value of such a man, notwithstanding his profession?
12623What was your father?"
12623What you hear him speak?
12623What you hold up the hand for?
12623What you say to him for that?
12623What you say?
12623When he bid you?
12623When he said kings, we asked him, how many kings?
12623When his father had drank, I called him, to know if there was any water left?
12623When the Spanish governor heard this, he calls to Will Atkins:"How, Seignior Atkins,"says he,"will you murder us all?
12623When the three wanderers had given this unaccountable history or journal of their voyage, the Spaniard asked them where their new family was?
12623When we were now at sea, we began to consult with the two seamen, and inquire first, what the meaning of all this should be?
12623Whence is it produced?
12623Where are the ten?
12623Where are you, Robin Crusoe?
12623Where are you?
12623Where do they carry them?
12623Where have you been?
12623Where have you been?"
12623Where was the vessel that brought them?
12623Who you speak to?
12623Why do n''t you shoot him?"
12623Why were they not saved and you lost?
12623Why were you singled out?
12623Why will you put us to the necessity of this, Seignior Atkins?"
12623Why, have you a God in your country?
12623Will Atkins, explain yourself: you did not kill your father, did you, with your own hands?
12623_ R.C._ But did you tell her what marriage was?
12623_ R.C._ Well, what did she say to what you told her?
12623_ R.C._ What education did he give you?
12623_ Wife._ Bid you pray?
12623_ Wife._ But he no hear what you say?
12623_ Wife._ But how you makee me know that God teachee them to write that book?
12623_ Wife._ But then do not you tell God tankee for that too?
12623_ Wife._ But why God let you do so?
12623_ Wife._ But you say me he is great, much great, have much great power; can make kill when he will: why he no make kill when you no serve him?
12623_ Wife._ Can he do that too?
12623_ Wife._ Me no understand that: where is book?
12623_ Wife._ No laugh: why laugh me?
12623_ Wife._ Now me tink you have great much God up there,(_ she points up to heaven_) and yet no do well, no do good ting?
12623_ Wife._ What have you de great God in your country, you no know him?
12623_ Wife._ What rule?
12623_ Wife._ What you put down the knee for?
12623_ Wife._ What you say O to him for?
12623_ Wife._ Where be then the muchee great power strong?
12623_ Wife._ Why he no makee you much good better?
12623_ Wife._ Why then he know what I say to you now; he know me wish to know him; how shall me know who makee me?
12623_ Wife._ Why you no tell me long ago?
12623_ Wife._ Why you say, you God make all?
12623a murderer?
12623and on what account did you go to sea?"
12623and what do you think, shall we see your father?"
12623and what notice had I taken of it?
12623and where had I been?
12623and whether he might expect a return of them with a power too great for us to resist?
12623as I saw on the coast of Africa: and what if I had been shipwrecked there?
12623ask, why is it that thou wert not long ago destroyed?
12623can we carry it in a box upon a camel?
12623devoured by the wild beasts on the coast of Africa?
12623dost thou ask what thou hast done?
12623from the most distressed condition that could be, and that was so frightful to me?
12623had I done my part?
12623he no hear you swear, curse, speak the great damn?
12623how do you know that?"
12623if your nation beat them, how came you to be taken?
12623killed in the fight when the ship was taken by the Sallee man of war?
12623look back upon a dreadful mispent life, and ask thyself what thou hast not done?
12623me no understand: but why not kill the devil now, not kill great ago?"
12623no be good mans?
12623no say O to him?
12623or, drowned here, when all the crew perished but thyself?
12623or, if we were first to be murdered, what satisfaction would it be to us to have them punished when they came home?
12623said I again, He returns very quick,"What you send Friday away for?
12623said I, aloud,"what art thou good for?
12623said I, seeming to know nothing of the matter,"did they murder the captain?"
12623said I,"what are you doing?
12623said I,"will they execute them, right or wrong; hang them first, and judge them afterwards?"
12623said I:"are you sure it is true?"
12623said I:"how came you to be taken prisoner then, Friday?"
12623said I:"would you turn wild again, eat men''s flesh again, and be a savage as you were before?"
12623said I;"by whom, and by what?"
12623said I;"what do you mean by that?"
12623said I;"what do you mean by that?"
12623said I;"what dost thou mean by that?"
12623said I;"what should I do there?"
12623says he, repeating the words several times,"why send Friday home away to my nation?"
12623says he,"you may, perhaps, be good Catholics in time; my business here is to convert heathens, and who knows but I may convert you too?"
12623says he;"what do you mean by that?
12623what me done?"
12623what way you know?
12623what you call dat?
12623whence are we?
12623where are they?"
12623why I should not go, and he stay in the boat?
12623why wert thou not drowned in Yarmouth Roads?
