I had now to consider which way to steer my course next, and what to do with the estate that Providence had thus put into my hands; and, indeed, I had more care upon my head now than I had in my state of life in the island where I wanted nothing but what I had, and had nothing but what I wanted; whereas I had now a great charge upon me, and my business was how to secure it.
Ahora tenía que decidir qué rumbo tomar y qué hacer con el estado que la Providencia había puesto en mis manos. En realidad, en este momento eran muchas más las preocupaciones que cuando llevaba una vida solitaria en la isla, donde no deseaba nada que no tuviese ni tenía nada que no desease.
