The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar by Edgar Rice Burroughs: you from the camp. I will explain to the sentries that
Mohammed Beyd has ordered me to take your body into the
jungle. This seemingly unnecessary act I shall explain
upon the grounds that Mohammed Beyd had conceived a
violent passion for you and that he so regretted the
act by which he had become your slayer that he could
not endure the silent reproach of your lifeless body."
The girl held up her hand to stop. A smile touched her
lips.
"Are you quite mad?" she asked. "Do you imagine that
the sentries will credit any such ridiculous tale?"
