A Voyage to Brobdingnag

I had always a strong impulse that I should sometime recover my liberty,

although it was impossible to conjecture by what means, or to form any project with
the least hope of succeeding. The ship in which I sailed was the first ever known to
be driven within sight of that coast, and the King had given strict orders, that if at any
time another appeared, it should be taken ashore, and with all its crew and
passengers brought in a tumbril1 to Lorbrulgrud. He was strongly bent to get me a
woman of my own size, by whom I might propagate the breed: but I think I should
rather have died than undergone the disgrace of leaving a posterity to be kept in
cages like tame canary birds, and perhaps in time sold about the kingdom to persons
of quality for curiosities. I was indeed treated with much kindness; I was the favourite
of a great king and queen, and the delight of the whole court, but it was upon such
a foot as ill became the dignity of human kind. I could never forget those domestic
pledges I had left behind me. I wanted to be among people with whom I could
converse upon even terms, and walk about the streets and fields without fear of
being trod to death like a frog or young puppy. But my deliverance came sooner than
I expected, and in a manner not very common: the whole story and circumstances of
which I shall faithfully relate. I had now been two years in this country; and about the
beginning of the third, Glumdalclitch and I attended the King and Queen in progress
to the south coast of the kingdom. I was carried as usual in my travelling-box, which,
as I have already described, was a very convenient closet of twelve foot2 wide. I had
ordered a hammock to be fixed by silken ropes from the four corners at the top, to
break the jolts, when a servant carried me before him on horseback, as I sometimes
desired, and would often sleep in my hammock while we were upon the road. On the
roof of my closet, just over the middle of the hammock, I ordered the joiner to cut out
a hole of a foot2 square to give me air in hot weather as I slept, which hole I shut at
pleasure with a board that drew backwards and forwards through a groove.
