But I was not perfectly easy at lying so open; for, as I had managed myself before, I was in a perfect enclosure; whereas now I thought I lay exposed, and open for anything to come in upon me; and yet I could not perceive that there was any living thing to fear, the biggest creature that I had yet seen upon the island being a goat.
Doch zoo geheel open te leggen beviel mij maar half, want terwijl ik te voren gezorgd had, geheel afgesloten te zijn, lag ik thans eenigzins open, hoewel ik geen levend wezen gezien had, waarvoor ik behoefde te vreezen, want het grootste dier dat ik op het eiland had bespeurd was eene geit.
