Quotation from: The Gods of Mars

Written by: Edgar Rice Burroughs


The eyes of my companions lighted, and grim smiles of pleasure and
anticipation overspread their faces, as each eye turned toward me
questioningly. But I shook my head.


"No, my friends," I said, smiling, "I thank you, but it cannot be.
Not yet, at least. When we know that Tardos Mors and Mors Kajak
are gone to return no more; if I be here, then I shall join you
all to see that the people of Helium are permitted to choose fairly
their next Jeddak. Whom they choose may count upon the loyalty
of my sword, nor shall I seek the honour for myself. Until then
Tardos Mors is Jeddak of Helium, and Zat Arras is his representative."
