This observation of mine put a great many thoughts into me, which made me at first not so easy about my new man Friday as I was before; and I made no doubt but that, if Friday could get back to his own nation again, he would not only forget all his religion but all his obligation to me, and would be forward enough to give his countrymen an account of me, and come back, perhaps with a hundred or two of them, and make a feast upon me, at which he might be as merry as he used to be with those of his enemies when they were taken in war.
Biztos voltam benne, hogy ha Péntek visszajuthatna a népéhez, nem csak az itteni életéről feledkezne meg, hanem a velem szemben vállalt kötelezettségeiről is.
