From the book
A prompt from this edition.
Every chapter of the Commonplace Edition closes with a prompt.
Commonplace
After the wreck at Yarmouth, Crusoe says “my ill fate pushed me on,” and only “some such decreed unavoidable misery” could explain it. Yet the punch that drowned his first vows he calls “that one night’s wickedness.” Number each resolve to go home, and what undoes it. What does calling it fate do for him?
