Burroughs, Edgar Rice

"Tarzan Of The Apes"

"Especially one who wanted me himself."


? ? ? ? "Terkoz did," said Tarzan, grimly.


? ? ? ? Jane shuddered and looked fearfully up at the giant figure beside her, for she knew that he meant the great anthropoid he had killed in her defense.


? ? ? ? "This is not the African jungle," she said. "You are no longer a savage beast. You are a gentleman, and gentlemen do not kill in cold blood."


? ? ? ? "I am still a wild beast at heart," he said, in a low voice, as though to himself.


? ? ? ? Again they were silent for a time.


? ? ? ? "Jane," said the man, at length, "if you were free, would you marry me?"


? ? ? ? She did not reply at once, but he waited patiently.


? ? ? ? The girl was trying to collect her thoughts.


? ? ? ? What did she know of this strange creature at her side? What did he know of himself? Who was he? Who, his parents?


? ? ? ? Why, his very name echoed his mysterious origin and his savage life.
