The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Warlord of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs: for these were all members of the palace guard--men familiar with my face.
The first to reach me was the wearer of the mate to my strange ring,
and as he came close he whispered: "Surrender to me!" then in a
loud voice shouted: "You are my prisoner, white man," and menaced
me with his two weapons.
And so John Carter, Prince of Helium, meekly surrendered to a
single antagonist. The others now swarmed about us, asking many
questions, but I would not talk to them, and finally my captor
announced that he would lead me back to my cell.
