Quotation from: The Gods of Mars

Written by: Edgar Rice Burroughs


How long I slept I do not know. When I awoke suddenly it was to
find a half-dozen powerful men upon me, a gag already in my mouth,
and a moment later my arms and legs securely bound. So quickly
had they worked and to such good purpose, that I was utterly beyond
the power to resist them by the time I was fully awake.


Never a word spoke they, and the gag effectually prevented me
speaking. Silently they lifted me and bore me toward the door of
my chamber. As they passed the window through which the farther
moon was casting its brilliant beams, I saw that each of the party
had his face swathed in layers of silk--I could not recognize one
of them.
