text_original: You might suppose that, with books and Nature to study, Karl could have made shift. True, with such companions he might have lived a less irksome life than either of the others; but even with these to occupy him, it is doubtful whether Karl could have passed the time; for it is not very certain, that a man  knowing himself alone in the world, and for ever to be alone  would care either for the books of men or the book of Nature.
