禁漫天堂网站是不是官方 Nay, farther, the common motive of foreign adventures was takenaway in me, for I had no fortune to make; I had nothing to seek:if I had gained ten thousand pounds I had been no richer; for I hadalready sufficient for me, and for those I had to leave it to; andwhat I had was visibly increasing; for, having no great family, Icould not spend the income of what I had unless I would set up foran expensive way of living, such as a great family, servants,equipage, gaiety, and the like, which were things I had no notionof, or inclination to; so that I had nothing, indeed, to do but tosit still, and fully enjoy what I had got, and see it increasedaily upon my hands. Yet all these things had no effect upon me,or at least not enough to resist the strong inclination I had to goabroad again, which hung about me like a chronic distemper. Inparticular, the desire of seeing my new plantation in the island,and the colony I left there, ran in my head continually. I dreamedof it all night, and my imagination ran upon it al The utmost of all the improvement which I can say the wives hadmade from them was, that they had taught them to speak Englishpretty well; and most of their children, who were near twenty inall, were taught to speak English too, from their first learning tospeak, though they at first spoke it in a very broken manner, liketheir mothers. None of these children were above six years oldwhen I came thither, for it was not much above seven years sincethey had fetched these five savage ladies over; they had allchildren, more or less: the mothers were all a good sort of well-governed, quiet, laborious women, modest and decent, helpful to oneanother, mighty observant, and subject to their masters (I cannotcall them husbands), and lacked nothing but to be well instructedin the Christian religion, and to be legally married; both of whichwere happily brought about afterwards by my means, or at least inconsequence of my coming among them.
