I stayed here about five weeks, and indeed had much ado to get away then. Nay, he would have come over the bay with me, but I would by no means allow him to it. However, he would send me over in a sloop of his own, which was built like a yacht, and served him as well for pleasure as business.
Je demeurai là plus de cinq semaines, et en vérité j'eus assez à faire pour m'en aller, même alors, il voulait m'accompagner jusque de l'autre côté de la baie, ce que je refusai expressément; pourtant, il insista pour me faire faire la traversée dans une chaloupe qui lui appartenait, qui était construite comme un yacht, et qui lui servait autant à son plaisir qu'à ses affaires.
