Explore "Robur the Conqueror" by Jules Verne on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
If ever Prudent and Evans despaired on escaping from the "Albatross" it / was during the two days that followed. It may be that Robur considered / it more difficult to keep a watch on his prisoners while he was / crossing Europe, and he knew that they had made up their minds to get / away.
But any attempt to have done so would have been simply committing / suicide. To jump from an express going sixty miles an hour is to risk / your life, but to jump from a machine going one hundred and twenty / miles an hour would be to seek your death.
