Burroughs, Edgar Rice

"Tarzan Of The Apes"


? ? ? ? "We have waited as long as I intend to wait," he said roughly. "You have promised to marry me. I shall be played with no longer. I have the license and here is the preacher. Come Mr. Tousley; come Jane. There are plenty of witnesses --more than enough," he added with a disagreeable inflection; and taking Jane Porter by the arm, he started to lead her toward the waiting minister.


? ? ? ? But scarcely had he taken a single step ere a heavy hand closed upon his arm with a grip of steel.


? ? ? ? Another hand shot to his throat and in a moment he was being shaken high above the floor, as a cat might shake a mouse.


? ? ? ? Jane turned in horrified surprise toward Tarzan.


? ? ? ? And, as she looked into his face, she saw the crimson band upon his forehead that she had seen that other day in far distant Africa, when Tarzan of the Apes had closed in mortal combat with the great anthropoid--Terkoz.


? ? ? ? She knew that murder lay in that savage heart, and with a little cry of horror she sprang forward to plead with the ape-man.
