Accordingly, I spent some time to find out the most retired parts of the island; and I pitched upon one, which was as private, indeed, as my heart could wish: it was a little damp piece of ground in the middle of the hollow and thick woods, where, as is observed, I almost lost myself once before, endeavouring to come back that way from the eastern part of the island.
Consecuentemente con mi plan, pasé un tiempo buscando los parajes más retirados de la isla hasta que hallé uno que lo estaba tanto como hubiese podido desear. Era un pequeño predio húmedo, en medio del espeso monte donde, como ya he dicho, estuve a punto de perderme cuando intentaba regresar a casa desde la parte oriental de la isla.
