Quotation from: The Land That Time Forgot

Written by: Edgar Rice Burroughs

"You cannot go back," she said. "It is forbidden. They would
kill you. Thus far have you come--there is no returning."

"But I must return," I insisted. "My people are there. I must
return and lead them in this direction."

She insisted, and I insisted; but at last we compromised. I was
to escort her as far as the country of the Kro-lu and then I was
to go back after my own people and lead them north into a land
where the dangers were fewer and the people less murderous.
She brought me all my belongings that had been filched from
me--rifle, ammunition, knife, and thermos bottle, and then hand
in hand we descended the cliff and set off toward the north.
