Quotation from: The Gods of Mars

Written by: Edgar Rice Burroughs


With a bound I sprang to the bars of the window opposite us, and
took a quick survey of the scene without.


Several small craft and two large battleships lay within a hundred
yards of Shador.


"To-night," I thought, and was just about to voice my decision to
Xodar, when, without warning, the door of our prison opened and a
guard stepped in.


If the fellow saw me there our chances of escape might quickly go
glimmering, for I knew that they would put me in irons if they had
the slightest conception of the wonderful agility which my earthly
muscles gave me upon Mars.
