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: of the rising sun Carthoris could see many figures moving
along the summit of the high wall, and upon the roof tops beyond.
That they were beings like himself he was sure, though
they were at too great distance from him for him to be
positive that they were red men.
Almost immediately after sunrise the green warriors
commenced firing upon the little figures upon the wall.
To Carthoris' surprise the fire was not returned,
but presently the last of the city's inhabitants had sought
shelter from the weird marksmanship of the green men,
and no further sign of life was visible beyond the wall.
Thuvia, Maid of Mars |
