Dоn't let my thоughts run аwаy with me? Cоnvаlesce in peace and quiet? If I convalesce till I'm good and fat, they get more to eat, but what do I get out of it? How can I possibly be all right? What a bunch! All they think about is eating human flesh, and then they go sneaking around, thinking up every which way they can to camouflage their real intentions. They were comical enough to crack anybody up. I couldn't hold it in any longer and let out a good loud laugh. Now that really felt good. I knew in my heart of hearts that my laughter was packed with courage and righteousness. And do you know what? They were so completely subdued by it that the old man and my elder brother both went pale!
