The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Gods of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs: all these long years. At last, when I realized that it was truth,
and then came to know the awful place in which I was held prisoner,
I learned to doubt that even you could reach me here.
"As the days passed, and moon after moon went by
without bringing even the faintest rumour of you, I resigned
myself to my fate. And now that you have come, scarce can
I believe it. For an hour I have heard the sounds of
conflict within the palace. I knew not what they meant, but
I have hoped against hope that it might be the men of
Helium headed by my Prince.
"And tell me, what of Carthoris, our son?"
