Whether I went over by the ladder, as first contrived, or went in at the hole in the rock, which I had called a door, I cannot remember; no, nor could I remember the next morning, for never frightened hare fled to cover, or fox to earth, with more terror of mind than I to this retreat.
No puedo recordar si entré por la escalera o por la puerta de la roca, ni pude hacerlo a la mañana siguiente, pues jamás hubo liebre o zorra asustada que huyese a ocultarse en su madriguera con mayor terror que el mío en ese momento. No dormí en toda la noche.
