Yet I entertained such an abhorrence of the savage wretches that I have been speaking of, and of the wretched, inhuman custom of their devouring and eating one another up, that I continued pensive and sad, and kept close within my own circle for almost two years after this: when I say my own circle, I mean by it my three plantations—viz. my castle, my country seat (which I called my bower), and my enclosure in the woods: nor did I look after this for any other use than an enclosure for my goats; for the aversion which nature gave me to these hellish wretches was such, that I was as fearful of seeing them as of seeing the devil himself.
Olyan undor és szomorúság fogott el az állatias vademberekkel és emberevő szertartásaikkal kapcsolatban, hogy ettől az időtől kezdve csaknem két évig alig hagytam el saját területemet. Saját területemen a három ültetvényemet, az erődömet, vidéki birtokomat és az erdei karámot értem.
