A review by kevin_shepherd
Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift

5.0

“I had been for some hours extremely pressed by the necessities of nature; which was no wonder, it being almost two days since I had last disburdened myself. I was under great difficulties between urgency and shame …I went as far as the length of my chain would suffer, and discharged my body of that uneasy load …due care was taken every morning before company came, that the offensive matter should be carried off in wheel-barrows, by two servants appointed for that purpose.” (pg 22)

I should like to know what hellish contrivance of employment could possibly be worse than that of the two Lilliputian servants and their trusty wheelbarrows.
