I hired a horse and guide for five shillings, which I borrowed of the captain.
As I was on the road, observing the littleness of the houses--the trees, the cattle, and the people, I began to think myself in Lilliput.

I was afraid of trampling on every traveller I met, and often called aloud to have them stand out of the way, so that I had like to have gotten one or two broken heads for my impertinence.
When I came to my own house, for which I was forced to inquire, one of the servants opened the door, I bent down to go in (like a goose under a gate), for fear of striking my head.

My wife ran out to embrace me, but I stooped lower than her knees, thinking she could otherwise never be able to reach my mouth.

My daughter kneeled to ask my blessing, but I could not see her till she arose, having been so long used to stand with my head and eyes erect to above sixty feet; and then I went to take her up with one hand by the waist.

I looked down upon the servants, and one or two friends who were in the house, as if they had been pygmies, and I a giant.
