As long as he can recollect, he had always lived in a hole, (a small, low apartment, which he sometimes calls a cage,) where he had always sat upon the ground, with bare feet, and clothed only with a shirt and a pair of breeches.
Strona 97 - ... been accustomed in his prison; — for his bread was seasoned with these condiments — all kinds of smells were more or less disagreeable to him. When he was once asked, which of all other smells was most agreeable to him? he answered, none at all.
Strona 5 - He was hence soon regarded as a kind of savage; and, in expectation of the captain's return, was conducted to the stable, where he immediately stretched himself on the straw, and fell into a profound sleep.
