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: Yes, there it was far in the north, dimly outlined against
the dark void of space that stretched illimitably beyond it,
the faint suggestion of a flier passing, unlighted, through
the Barsoomian night.
Carthoris, knowing not whether the craft might be
friend or foe of Dusar, gave no sign that he had seen,
but turned his eyes in another direction, leaving the matter
to the Dusarian who stood watch with him.
Presently the fellow discovered the oncoming craft, and
sounded the low alarm which brought the balance of the
watch and an officer from their sleeping silks and furs
