Burroughs, Edgar Rice

"Tarzan Of The Apes"

It was the hall-mark of his aristocratic birth, the natural outcropping of many generations of fine breeding, an hereditary instinct of graciousness which a lifetime of uncouth and savage training and environment could not eradicate.


? ? ? ? It was growing dark now, and so they ate again of the fruit which was both food and drink for them; then Tarzan rose, and leading Jane to the little bower he had erected, motioned her to go within.


? ? ? ? For the first time in hours a feeling of fear swept over her, and Tarzan felt her draw away as though shrinking from him.


? ? ? ? Contact with this girl for half a day had left a very diferent Tarzan from the one on whom the morning's sun had risen.


? ? ? ? Now, in every fiber of his being, heredity spoke louder than training.


? ? ? ? He had not in one swift transition become a polished gentleman from a savage ape-man, but at last the instincts of the former predominated, and over all was the desire to please the woman he loved, and to appear well in her eyes.
