The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Pellucidar by Edgar Rice Burroughs: so he took advantage of the fact to make the return
journey to Phutra as disagreeable as possible. I did not
rebel, though I had with me the means to destroy them
all. I did not dare rebel because of the consequences to
Dian. I intended demanding her release on the grounds
that she was in no way guilty of the theft, and that
my failure to recover the document had not lessened the
value of the good faith I had had in offering to do so.
The Mahars might keep me in slavery if they chose, but
Dian should be returned safely to her people.
I was full of my scheme when we entered Phutra and
