As for Captain Nemo, I wondered what he would make of our escaping, what concern or perhaps what distress it might cause him, and what he would do in the twofold event of our attempt either failing or being found out! Certainly I had no complaints to register with him, on the contrary.
Ik vroeg mij zelven af wat kapitein Nemo wel van onze ontsnapping zou denken, welke ongerustheid, welk leedwezen deze hem misschien zou veroorzaken, en wat hij doen zou, ingeval hem ons plan bekend werd, of het mislukte!
