"It seems a good plan," I answer'd slowly: "the England that now is, is no place for a woman. When do you sail?" "As soon as you are recovered, Jack." "Then that's now."

At last, espying an Indian peeping over a high Bank, we held up a Gun at him; and calling to him, `Skerry', presently several Indians came in Sight of us, and made great Signs of Friendship, saying `Bonny, Bonny'. Then running before us, they endeavour'd to persuade us to come on shoar; but we answer'd them with stern Countenances, and call'd out, `Skerry', taking up our Guns, and threatning to shoot at them, but they still cry'd `Bonny, Bonny': And when they saw they could not prevail, nor persuade us to come on shoar, two of them came off to us in a Canoe, one paddling with a great Cane, the other with his Hand.

I must confess, I am unus'd to this kind of Dialogue; and I am an Ass, if I know what to say to such a Creature. But come, will you answer me to one Question? Cel. If I can, Sir. Sir Tim. But first I should ask you if you can speak? For that's a Question too. Cel. And if I cannot, how will you be answer'd? Sir Tim. Faith, that's right; why, then you must do't by signs. Cel.

Aurelian wondred at his unseasonable Mirth, and demanded the Cause of it; he answer'd, It would necessitate his longer Stay in Florence, and for ought he knew be the Means of bringing a happy Period to his Amour.
He seem'd highly delighted to hear me speak, and viewed me with a visible Surprize. When he bid my Master set a Price, he answer'd, That his Lordship's doing him the Honour to accept such a Trifle from his Slave, he esteem'd beyond any Sum of Money, notwithstanding his Poverty.
