Part II I

When my master saw how much money he could make with my help, he thought of a new plan. He decided to carry me to the largest cities of the country and show me there. He prepared for a long journey, and on the 17th of August, 1703, we started for the capital of the country. My master told Glumdalclitch to ride behind him. She carried me in a box which was tied round her waist.

My master’s plan was to show me in all the towns and villages on the way. Our journey lasted ten weeks, and I was shown in eighteen large towns and many villages. We passed over five or six rivers, much wider and deeper than the Nile. I did not even see a river the size of the Thames.

On the 26th of October we came to the capital. My master found a room with a large table, round which he built a low fence. I was shown ten times a day. The people were very surprised and pleased. I could now speak their language rather well, and understood almost every word. This work was too hard for me, and in a few weeks I looked quite ill. The farmer noticed it and decided that I must soon die. So he began to think how to make as much money as possible before I died.

While he was thinking about this, a man from the court came and commanded my master, to carry me to the palace, because the queen and her ladies wanted to look at me.

The queen liked me very much and asked me some questions about my country and my travels, which I answered in a few words.

She asked me if I would like to live at court. I answered that I was my master’s slave, but I would be happy to stay at court if I could. Then the queen asked my master to sell me, and he agreed.

I asked the queen to allow Glumdalclitch to stay at court, and be my nurse and a teacher as before. The queen agreed, and the girl was happy. The farmer was also glad to leave his daughter at the queen’s court. So he went home and Clumdalclitch and I remained in the palace.
