I found Friday had still a hankering stomach after some of the flesh, and was still a cannibal in his nature; but I showed so much abhorrence at the very thoughts of it, and at the least appearance of it, that he durst not discover it: for I had, by some means, let him know that I would kill him if he offered it.
Me di cuenta de que a Viernes le apetecía mucho aquella carne, pues era un caníbal por naturaleza, pero le mostré tal horror ante ello, incluso ante la sola idea de que pudiera hacerlo, que se abstuvo, sabiendo, según le había hecho comprender, que lo mataría si se atrevía.
