The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Tarzan the Untamed by Edgar Rice Burroughs: Tarzan was aware of the contact.
Himself without fear, he yet instinctively appreciated how
terrified the girl must be. Actuated by a sudden kindly im-
pulse he found her hand and took it in his own and thus they
continued upon their way, groping through the blackness of
the trail. Twice they were approached by forest lions, but
upon both occasions the deep growls of Numa of the pit drove
off their assailants. Several times they were compelled to rest,
for Smith-Oldwick was constantly upon the verge of exhaus-
tion, and toward morning Tarzan was forced to carry him on
the steep ascent from the bed of the valley.
