    Robinson Crusoe
    • I had two elder brothers one of which was lieutenant-colonel to an English regiment of foot in Flanders formerly commanded by the famous Colonel Lockhart and was killed at the battle near Dunkirk against the Spaniards. What became of my second brother I never knew any more than my father or mother did know what was become of me.
