The
queen
,
who
often
used
to
hear
me
talk
of
my
sea-voyages
,
and
took
all
occasions
to
divert
me
when
I
was
melancholy
,
asked
me
whether
I
understood
how
to
handle
a
sail
or
an
oar
,
and
whether
a
little
exercise
of
rowing
might
not
be
convenient
for
my
health
?
I
answered
,
that
I
understood
both
very
well
:
for
although
my
proper
employment
had
been
to
be
surgeon
or
doctor
to
the
ship
,
yet
often
,
upon
a
pinch
,
I
was
forced
to
work
like
a
common
mariner
.
But
I
could
not
see
how
this
could
be
done
in
their
country
,
where
the
smallest
wherry
was
equal
to
a
first-rate
man
of
war
among
us
;
and
such
a
boat
as
I
could
manage
would
never
live
in
any
of
their
rivers
.
262
Her
majesty
said
,
if
I
would
contrive
a
boat
,
her
own
joiner
should
make
it
,
and
she
would
provide
a
place
for
me
to
sail
in
.
The
fellow
was
an
ingenious
workman
,
and
by
my
instructions
,
in
ten
days
,
finished
a
pleasure-boat
with
all
its
tackling
,
able
conveniently
to
hold
eight
Europeans
.
When
it
was
finished
,
the
queen
was
so
delighted
,
that
she
ran
with
it
in
her
lap
to
the
king
,
who
ordered
it
to
be
put
into
a
cistern
full
of
water
,
with
me
in
it
,
by
way
of
trial
,
where
I
could
not
manage
my
two
sculls
,
or
little
oars
,
for
want
of
room
.
But
the
queen
had
before
contrived
another
project
.
She
ordered
the
joiner
to
make
a
wooden
trough
of
three
hundred
feet
long
,
fifty
broad
,
and
eight
deep
;
which
,
being
well
pitched
,
to
prevent
leaking
,
was
placed
on
the
floor
,
along
the
wall
,
in
an
outer
room
of
the
palace
.
It
had
a
cock
near
the
bottom
to
let
out
the
water
,
when
it
began
to
grow
stale
;
and
two
servants
could
easily
fill
it
in
half
an
hour
.
Here
I
often
used
to
row
for
my
own
diversion
,
as
well
as
that
of
the
queen
and
her
ladies
,
who
thought
themselves
well
entertained
with
my
skill
and
agility
.
Sometimes
I
would
put
up
my
sail
,
and
then
my
business
was
only
to
steer
,
while
the
ladies
gave
me
a
gale
with
their
fans
;
and
,
when
they
were
weary
,
some
of
their
pages
would
blow
my
sail
forward
with
their
breath
,
while
I
showed
my
art
by
steering
starboard
or
larboard
as
I
pleased
.
When
I
had
done
,
Glumdalclitch
always
carried
back
my
boat
into
her
closet
,
and
hung
it
on
a
nail
to
dry
.
263
In
this
exercise
I
once
met
an
accident
,
which
had
like
to
have
cost
me
my
life
;
for
,
one
of
the
pages
having
put
my
boat
into
the
trough
,
the
governess
who
attended
Glumdalclitch
very
officiously
lifted
me
up
,
to
place
me
in
the
boat
:
but
I
happened
to
slip
through
her
fingers
,
and
should
infallibly
have
fallen
down
forty
feet
upon
the
floor
,
if
,
by
the
luckiest
chance
in
the
world
,
I
had
not
been
stopped
by
a
corking-pin
that
stuck
in
the
good
gentlewoman
's
stomacher
;
the
head
of
the
pin
passing
between
my
shirt
and
the
waistband
of
my
breeches
,
and
thus
I
was
held
by
the
middle
in
the
air
,
till
Glumdalclitch
ran
to
my
relief
.

Another
time
,
one
of
the
servants
,
whose
office
it
was
to
fill
my
trough
every
third
day
with
fresh
water
,
was
so
careless
as
to
let
a
huge
frog
(
(
not
perceiving
it
)
)
slip
out
of
his
pail
.
The
frog
lay
concealed
till
I
was
put
into
my
boat
,
but
then
,
seeing
a
resting-place
,
climbed
up
,
and
made
it
lean
so
much
on
one
side
,
that
I
was
forced
to
balance
it
with
all
my
weight
on
the
other
,
to
prevent
overturning
.
When
the
frog
was
got
in
,
it
hopped
at
once
half
the
length
of
the
boat
,
and
then
over
my
head
,
backward
and
forward
,
daubing
my
face
and
clothes
with
its
odious
slime
.
The
largeness
of
its
features
made
it
appear
the
most
deformed
animal
that
can
be
conceived
.
However
,
I
desired
Glumdalclitch
to
let
me
deal
with
it
alone
.
I
banged
it
a
good
while
with
one
of
my
sculls
,
and
at
last
forced
it
to
leap
out
of
the
boat
.
265
But
the
greatest
danger
I
ever
underwent
in
that
kingdom
,
was
from
a
monkey
,
who
belonged
to
one
of
the
clerks
of
the
kitchen
.
Glumdalclitch
had
locked
me
up
in
her
closet
,
while
she
went
somewhere
upon
business
,
or
a
visit
.
The
weather
being
very
warm
,
the
closet-window
was
left
open
,
as
well
as
the
windows
and
the
door
of
my
bigger
box
,
in
which
I
usually
lived
,
because
of
its
largeness
and
conveniency
.
As
I
sat
quietly
meditating
at
my
table
,
I
heard
something
bounce
in
at
the
closet-window
,
and
skip
about
from
one
side
to
the
other
:
whereat
,
although
I
was
much
alarmed
,
yet
I
ventured
to
look
out
,
but
not
stirring
from
my
seat
;
and
then
I
saw
this
frolicsome
animal
frisking
and
leaping
up
and
down
,
till
at
last
he
came
to
my
box
,
which
he
seemed
to
view
with
great
pleasure
and
curiosity
,
peeping
in
at
the
door
and
every
window
.
I
retreated
to
the
farther
corner
of
my
room
;
or
box
;
but
the
monkey
looking
in
at
every
side
,
put
me
in
such
a
fright
,
that
I
wanted
presence
of
mind
to
conceal
myself
under
the
bed
,
as
I
might
easily
have
done
.
After
some
time
spent
in
peeping
,
grinning
,
and
chattering
,
he
at
last
espied
me
;
and
reaching
one
of
his
paws
in
at
the
door
,
as
a
cat
does
when
she
plays
with
a
mouse
,
although
I
often
shifted
place
to
avoid
him
,
he
at
length
seized
the
lappet
of
my
coat
(
which
being
made
of
that
country
silk
,
was
very
thick
and
strong
)
)
,
and
dragged
me
out
.
266
He
took
me
up
in
his
right
fore-foot
and
held
me
as
a
nurse
does
a
child
she
is
going
to
suckle
,
just
as
I
have
seen
the
same
sort
of
creature
do
with
a
kitten
in
Europe
;
and
when
I
offered
to
struggle
he
squeezed
me
so
hard
,
that
I
thought
it
more
prudent
to
submit
.
I
have
good
reason
to
believe
,
that
he
took
me
for
a
young
one
of
his
own
species
,
by
his
often
stroking
my
face
very
gently
with
his
other
paw
.
In
these
diversions
he
was
interrupted
by
a
noise
at
the
closet
door
,
as
if
somebody
were
opening
it
:
whereupon
he
suddenly
leaped
up
to
the
window
at
which
he
had
come
in
,
and
thence
upon
the
leads
and
gutters
,
walking
upon
three
legs
,
and
holding
me
in
the
fourth
,
till
he
clambered
up
to
a
roof
that
was
next
to
ours
.
I
heard
Glumdalclitch
give
a
shriek
at
the
moment
he
was
carrying
me
out
.
The
poor
girl
was
almost
distracted
:
that
quarter
of
the
palace
was
all
in
an
uproar
;
the
servants
ran
for
ladders
;
the
monkey
was
seen
by
hundreds
in
the
court
,
sitting
upon
the
ridge
of
a
building
,
holding
me
like
a
baby
in
one
of
his
forepaws
,
and
feeding
me
with
the
other
,
by
cramming
into
my
mouth
some
victuals
he
had
squeezed
out
of
the
bag
on
one
side
of
his
chaps
,
and
patting
me
when
I
would
not
eat
;
whereat
many
of
the
rabble
below
could
not
forbear
laughing
;
neither
do
I
think
they
justly
ought
to
be
blamed
,
for
,
without
question
,
the
sight
was
ridiculous
enough
to
every
body
but
myself
.
Some
of
the
people
threw
up
stones
,
hoping
to
drive
the
monkey
down
;
but
this
was
strictly
forbidden
,
or
else
,
very
probably
,
my
brains
had
been
dashed
out
.
267
The
ladders
were
now
applied
,
and
mounted
by
several
men
;
which
the
monkey
observing
,
and
finding
himself
almost
encompassed
,
not
being
able
to
make
speed
enough
with
his
three
legs
,
let
me
drop
on
a
ridge
tile
,
and
made
his
escape
.

268
Here
I
sat
for
some
time
,
five
hundred
yards
from
the
ground
,
expecting
every
moment
to
be
blown
down
by
the
wind
,
or
to
fall
by
my
own
giddiness
,
and
come
tumbling
over
and
over
from
the
ridge
to
the
eaves
;
but
an
honest
lad
,
one
of
my
nurse
's
footmen
,
climbed
up
,
and
putting
me
into
his
breeches
pocket
,
brought
me
down
safe
.
269
I
was
almost
choked
with
the
filthy
stuff
the
monkey
had
crammed
down
my
throat
:
but
my
dear
little
nurse
picked
it
out
of
my
mouth
with
a
small
needle
,
and
then
I
fell
a-vomiting
,
which
gave
me
great
relief
.
Yet
I
was
so
weak
and
bruised
in
the
sides
with
the
squeezes
given
me
by
this
odious
animal
,
that
I
was
forced
to
keep
my
bed
a
fortnight
.
The
king
,
queen
,
and
all
the
court
,
sent
every
day
to
inquire
after
my
health
;
and
her
majesty
made
me
several
visits
during
my
sickness
.
The
monkey
was
killed
,
and
an
order
made
,
that
no
such
animal
should
be
kept
about
the
palace
.
270
When
I
attended
the
king
after
my
recovery
,
to
return
him
thanks
for
his
favours
,
he
was
pleased
to
rally
me
a
good
deal
upon
this
adventure
.
He
asked
me
,
"
what
my
thoughts
and
speculations
were
,
while
I
lay
in
the
monkey
's
paw
;
how
I
liked
the
victuals
he
gave
me
;
his
manner
of
feeding
;
and
whether
the
fresh
air
on
the
roof
had
sharpened
my
stomach
.
"
He
desired
to
know
,
"
what
I
would
have
done
upon
such
an
occasion
in
my
own
country
.
"
I
told
his
majesty
,
"
that
in
Europe
we
had
no
monkeys
,
except
such
as
were
brought
for
curiosity
from
other
places
,
and
so
small
,
that
I
could
deal
with
a
dozen
of
them
together
,
if
they
presumed
to
attack
me
.
And
as
for
that
monstrous
animal
with
whom
I
was
so
lately
engaged
(
(
it
was
indeed
as
large
as
an
elephant
)
)
,
if
my
fears
had
suffered
me
to
think
so
far
as
to
make
use
of
my
hanger
,
"
(
(
looking
fiercely
,
and
clapping
my
hand
on
the
hilt
,
as
I
spoke
)
)
"
when
he
poked
his
paw
into
my
chamber
,
perhaps
I
should
have
given
him
such
a
wound
,
as
would
have
made
him
glad
to
withdraw
it
with
more
haste
than
he
put
it
in
.
"
