Burroughs, Edgar Rice

"Tarzan Of The Apes"


? ? ? ? But he saw nothing outside--within he saw a patch of greensward surrounded by a matted mass of gorgeous tropical plants and flowers, and, above, the waving foliage of mighty trees, and, over all, the blue of an equatorial sky.


? ? ? ? In the center of the greensward a young woman sat upon a little mound of earth, and beside her sat a young giant. They ate pleasant fruit and looked into each other's eyes and smiled. They were very happy, and they were all alone.


? ? ? ? His thoughts were broken in upon by the station agent who entered asking if there was a gentleman by the name of Tarzan in the party.


? ? ? ? "I am Monsieur Tarzan," said the ape-man.


? ? ? ? "Here is a message for you, forwarded from Baltimore; it is a cablegram from Paris."


? ? ? ? Tarzan took the envelope and tore it open. The message was from D'Arnot.


? ? ? ? It read:
