Gulliver’s Travel
Mу master, finding how profitable I was likely to be, decided to carry me to the most important cities of the kingdom. Having therefore provided himself with all things necessary for a long journey, and settled his affairs at home, he took leave of his wife, and on 17th August, about two months after my arrival, we set out for the metropolis, situated near the middle of that empire, and about three thousand miles distance from our house. My master made his daughter, Glumdalclitch, ride behind him. She kept me on her lap, in a box tied about her waist. The girl had lined it on all sides with the softest cloth she could get, well quilted underneath, furnished it with her baby’s bed, provided me with linen and other necessaries, and made everything as convenient as she could. We had no other company but a boy of the house, who rode after us with the luggage.
My master’s plan was to show me in all the towns on the way, and to step out of the road for fifty or a hundred miles, to any village, or person of quality’s house, where he might expect custom. We made easy journeys, of not above seven or eight miles a day; for Glumdalclitch, not wanting to exhaust me, complained she was tired with the trotting of the horse. She often took me out of my box, at my own desire, to give me air, and show me the country, but always held me by a leading string. We passed over five or six rivers, much broader and deeper than the Nile or the Ganges: and there was hardly a stream so small as the Thames at London Bridge, We were ten weeks in our journey, and I was shown in eighteen large towns, besides many villages, and private families.
On the 26th day of October we arrived at the metropolis, called in their language LORBRULGRUD, or Pride of the Universe. My master took a lodging in the principal street of the city, not far from the Royal Palace, and put out bills in the usual form, containing an exact description of my person and parts. He hired a large room between three and four hundred feel wide. He provided a table sixty feet in diameter, upon which I was to act my part. I was shown ten times a day, to the wonder and satisfaction of all people. I could now speak the language tolerably well, and perfectly understood every word, that was spoken to me. Besides, t had learnt their alphabet, and could make an attempt to explain a sentence here and there; for Glumdalclitch had been my instructor while we were at home, and at leisure hours during our journey. She carried a little book in her pocket, not much larger than a Sanson’s Atlas; it was a common treatise for the use of young girls, giving a short account of their religion: out of this she taught me my letters, and interpreted the words.
5 in Lorbrulgrud, they stayed
A at Pride of the Universe Hotel.
В in the city centre.
С in the Royal Palace.
D in the master’s house.
6 Glumdalclitch taught the narrator
A to dance,
В leisure activities.
С her language.
D to act.
