Robinson Crusoe
Authorship not stated
Your father shuts the chamber door in York to settle your hunger for voyages. He is ill, one son already lost to a soldier's danger, and he offers the middle station instead: a trade, a household, neighbours who know your name. If you go against him, he says, sorrow will overtake you without assistance. You play Robinson, who will not promise to stay. Weeks later a friend offers a free berth out of Hull, and the last wagon leaves tonight, while the house is quiet.
