《 沙发TV真香真好看》

  The Spaniard who was governor told them, in so many words, that ifthey had been of his own country he would have hanged them; for alllaws and all governors were to preserve society, and those who weredangerous to the society ought to be expelled out of it; but asthey were Englishmen, and that it was to the generous kindness ofan Englishman that they all owed their preservation anddeliverance, he would use them with all possible lenity, and wouldleave them to the judgment of the other two Englishmen, who weretheir countrymen. One of the two honest Englishmen stood up, andsaid they desired it might not be left to them. "For," says he, "Iam sure we ought to sentence them to the gallows;" and with that hegives an account how Will Atkins, one of the three, had proposed tohave all the five Englishmen join together and murder all theSpaniards when they were in their sleep.

- "I know nodanger I am in," said I, "but that my ship is leaky, and I cannotfind it out; but I intend to lay her aground to-morrow, to see if Ican find it." - "But, sir," says he, "leaky or not leaky, you willbe wiser than to lay your ship on shore to-morrow when you hearwhat I have to say to you. Do you know, sir," said he, "the townof Cambodia lies about fifteen leagues up the river; and there aretwo large English ships about five leagues on this side, and threeDutch?" - "Well," said I, "and what is that to me?" - "Why, sir,"said be, "is it for a man that is upon such adventures as you areto come into a port, and not examine first what ships there arethere, and whether he is able to deal with them? I suppose you donot think you are a match for them?" I could not conceive what hemeant; and I turned short upon him, and said: "I wish you wouldexplain yourself; I cannot imagine what reason I have to be afraidof any of the company's ships, or Dutch ships. I am no interloper.What can they have to say to me?

  This was just as I would have it. The priest was not with me atthat moment, but he was not far off; so to try him further, I toldhim I had a clergyman with me, and, if he was sincere, I would havehim married next morning, and bade him consider of it, and talkwith the rest. He said, as for himself, he need not consider of itat all, for he was very ready to do it, and was glad I had aminister with me, and he believed they would be all willing also.I then told him that my friend, the minister, was a Frenchman, andcould not speak English, but I would act the clerk between them.He never so much as asked me whether he was a Papist or Protestant,which was, indeed, what I was afraid of. We then parted, and Iwent back to my clergyman, and Will Atkins went in to talk with hiscompanions. I desired the French gentleman not to say anything tothem till the business was thoroughly ripe; and I told him whatanswer the men had given me.
