From this moment I began to conclude in my mind that it was possible for me to be more happy in this forsaken, solitary condition than it was probable I should ever have been in any other particular state in the world; and with this thought I was going to give thanks to God for bringing me to this place.
Desde este momento, comencé a convencerme de que, posiblemente, era más feliz en esta situación de soledad y abandono que en cualquier otro estado en el mundo. Con estos pensamientos le di gracias a Dios por haberme traído a este lugar.
