Quotation from: The Gods of Mars

Written by: Edgar Rice Burroughs


He did not ask me where I had been. Like Hor Vastus, he too dreaded
the truth and would not be the one to wrest a statement from me.
That it must come some time he well knew, but until it came he
seemed satisfied to but know that I was with him once more. He
greeted Carthoris and Tars Tarkas with the keenest delight, but he
asked neither where he had been. He could scarcely keep his hands
off the boy.


"You do not know, John Carter," he said to me, "how we of Helium
love this son of yours. It is as though all the great love we
bore his noble father and his poor mother had been centred in him.
When it became known that he was lost, ten million people wept."
