Quotation from: The Gods of Mars

Written by: Edgar Rice Burroughs


That night I walked down to the cemetery with him. At the door of
his vault he turned and pressed my hand.


'Good-bye, nephew,' he said. 'I may never see you again, for I
doubt that I can ever bring myself to leave my wife and boy while
they live, and the span of life upon Barsoom is often more than a
thousand years.'


He entered the vault. The great door swung slowly to. The ponderous
bolts grated into place. The lock clicked. I have never seen
Captain John Carter, of Virginia, since.
