Explore "Robur the Conqueror" by Jules Verne on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The engineer had no intention of taking his ship over the wondrous / lands of Hindustan. To cross the Himalayas was to show how admirable / was the machine he commanded; to convince those who would not be / convinced was all he wished to do.
But if in their hearts Uncle Prudent and his colleague could not help / admiring so perfect an engine of aerial locomotion, they allowed none / of their admiration to be visible. All they thought of was how to / escape. They did not even admire the superb spectacle that lay beneath / them as the "Albatross" flew along the river banks of the Punjab.
