1 However, I desired Glumdalclitch to let me deal with it alone.
2 His lordship did so; and I remained alone, under many doubts and perplexities of mind.
3 There was a great lord at court, nearly related to the king, and for that reason alone used with respect.
4 He is taller by almost the breadth of my nail, than any of his court; which alone is enough to strike an awe into the beholders.
5 I roused myself, and looked about me in the room where I was left alone: this was furnished like the first, only after a more elegant manner.
6 I likewise broke my right shin against the shell of a snail, which I happened to stumble over, as I was walking alone and thinking on poor England.
7 Our men therefore wandered on the shore to find out some fresh water near the sea, and I walked alone about a mile on the other side, where I observed the country all barren and rocky.
8 He had two flappers attending him for state, but never made use of them, except at court and in visits of ceremony, and would always command them to withdraw, when we were alone together.
9 I pointed to every thing, and inquired the name of it, which I wrote down in my journal-book when I was alone, and corrected my bad accent by desiring those of the family to pronounce it often.
10 He entertained me with great kindness, observing me not to look wildly, or talk inconsistently: and, when we were left alone, desired I would give him a relation of my travels, and by what accident I came to be set adrift, in that monstrous wooden chest.
11 I slept about two hours, and dreamt I was at home with my wife and children, which aggravated my sorrows when I awaked, and found myself alone in a vast room, between two and three hundred feet wide, and above two hundred high, lying in a bed twenty yards wide.
