Burroughs, Edgar Rice

"Tarzan Of The Apes"

? ? ? ? He was not the sort of person one could put off, and somehow that very thought made her wonder if she did not really fear him.


? ? ? ? And could she love where she feared?


? ? ? ? She realized the spell that had been upon her in the depths of that far-off jungle, but there was no spell of enchantment now in prosaic Wisconsin.

? ? ? ? Did she love him? She did not know--now.

? ? ? ? Did not her best judgment point to this young English nobleman, whose love she knew to be of the sort a civilized woman should crave, as the logical mate for such as herself?


? ? ? ? Could she love Clayton? She could see no reason why she could not.
