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: Jav brushed closely past him, whispering:
"Follow me--he cannot harm her, except to kill; and
that he can do whether you remain or not. We had best
go now--trust me."
Carthoris did not understand, but something in the
urgency of the other's tone assured him, and so he turned
away, but not without a glance toward Thuvia in which
he attempted to make her understand that it was in her
own interest that he left her.
For answer she turned her back full upon him, but
not without first throwing him such a look of contempt
Thuvia, Maid of Mars |
