But at the time of which we write, Jack did not know this. He went on to soliloquise: "Yes, you've got a pretty set to deal with; elements that will cause you enough of trouble before you have done with them. Well, well, don't give in, old chap. Never say die. If solitude is to be your lot, meet it like a man. Why, they say that solitude of the worst kind is to be found where most people dwell.

Now on the stage, or in a novel, you'd have got those things together and addressed 'em, and despatched 'em, in just the right kind of paper, with just the right kind of string round it, at a dash; and then you'd have had time to go up and lean your head against something and soliloquise, or else think unutterable things.

Thus did Sancho soliloquise on the day of their departure, as Don Quixote, who had the night before taken leave of the duke and duchess, coming out made his appearance at an early hour in full armour in the courtyard of the castle. The whole household of the castle were watching him from the corridors, and the duke and duchess, too, came out to see him.

Under the impulse of this sudden emotion, she fled to the most retired corner of a tent, and secreted herself behind a trunk. saying to herself, 'I am the only colored person here, and on me, probably, their wicked mischief will fall first, and perhaps fatally. But feeling how great was her insecurity even there, as the very tent began to shake from its foundations, she began to soliloquise as follows:
'Ah! fine place, said the stranger, 'glorious pile frowning walls tottering arches dark nooks crumbling staircases old cathedral too earthy smell pilgrims' feet wore away the old steps little Saxon doors confessionals like money-takers' boxes at theatres queer customers those monks popes, and lord treasurers, and all sorts of old fellows, with great red faces, and broken noses, turning up every day buff jerkins too match-locks sarcophagus fine place old legends too strange stories: capital; and the stranger continued to soliloquise until they reached the Bull Inn, in the High Street, where the coach stopped.
