During all this time I was in a murdering humour, and spent most of my hours, which should have been better employed, in contriving how to circumvent and fall upon them the very next time I should see them—especially if they should be divided, as they were the last time, into two parties; nor did I consider at all that if I killed one party—suppose ten or a dozen—I was still the next day, or week, or month, to kill another, and so another, even _ad infinitum_, till I should be, at length, no less a murderer than they were in being man-eaters—and perhaps much more so.
A másik érzés, ami mind ez idő alatt foglalkoztatott, az a gyilkolási vágy volt és ahelyett, hogy hasznosabb elfoglaltsággal töltöttem volna az időmet, azt próbáltam kiötölni, hogyan támadjak rájuk következő alkalommal. Előnyömre válna, ha két részre szakadnának, mint legutóbb.
