1 I need not say that we were strangers to any species of disunion or dispute.
2 From this time a new spirit of life animated the decaying frame of the stranger.
3 On perceiving me, the stranger addressed me in English, although with a foreign accent.
4 I shall continue my journal concerning the stranger at intervals, should I have any fresh incidents to record.
5 Agatha asked a question, to which the stranger only replied by pronouncing, in a sweet accent, the name of Felix.
6 The stranger has gradually improved in health but is very silent and appears uneasy when anyone except myself enters his cabin.
7 Yesterday the stranger said to me, "You may easily perceive, Captain Walton, that I have suffered great and unparalleled misfortunes."
8 This aroused the stranger's attention, and he asked a multitude of questions concerning the route which the demon, as he called him, had pursued.
9 I loved my brothers, Elizabeth, and Clerval; these were "old familiar faces," but I believed myself totally unfitted for the company of strangers.
10 The stranger learned about twenty words at the first lesson; most of them, indeed, were those which I had before understood, but I profited by the others.
11 I soon perceived that although the stranger uttered articulate sounds and appeared to have a language of her own, she was neither understood by nor herself understood the cottagers.
12 Agatha, the ever-gentle Agatha, kissed the hands of the lovely stranger, and pointing to her brother, made signs which appeared to me to mean that he had been sorrowful until she came.
13 Some conversation took place between him and his father, and the young stranger knelt at the old man's feet and would have kissed his hand, but he raised her and embraced her affectionately.
14 But I was in no mood to laugh and talk with strangers or enter into their feelings or plans with the good humour expected from a guest; and accordingly I told Clerval that I wished to make the tour of Scotland alone.
15 Such words, you may imagine, strongly excited my curiosity; but the paroxysm of grief that had seized the stranger overcame his weakened powers, and many hours of repose and tranquil conversation were necessary to restore his composure.
16 Presently I found, by the frequent recurrence of some sound which the stranger repeated after them, that she was endeavouring to learn their language; and the idea instantly occurred to me that I should make use of the same instructions to the same end.
17 Felix seemed ravished with delight when he saw her, every trait of sorrow vanished from his face, and it instantly expressed a degree of ecstatic joy, of which I could hardly have believed it capable; his eyes sparkled, as his cheek flushed with pleasure; and at that moment I thought him as beautiful as the stranger.
