The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Thuvia, Maid of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs: yet the contact of her cool palm against his was so
pleasant that he feared to break the spell of her
new-found reliance in him by speaking.
Onward through the dim wood they passed until the
shadows of the quick coming Martian night commenced to
close down upon them. Then it was that Carthoris turned
to speak to the girl at his side.
They must plan together for the future. It was his idea
to pass through the cliffs at once if they could locate
the passage, and he was quite positive that they were now
close to it; but he wanted her assent to the proposition.
