Quotation from: The Gods of Mars

Written by: Edgar Rice Burroughs


A draught from above brought the fumes of smoke to our nostrils.
As we stood waiting for Xodar the smoke became thicker and thicker.
Presently we heard shouting at the far end of the corridor, and
hurrying feet.


"Come back, John Carter, come back!" cried a voice, "even the pits
are burning."


In a moment a dozen men broke through the now blinding smoke to
my side. There was Carthoris, and Kantos Kan, and Hor Vastus, and
Xodar, with a few more who had followed me to the temple court.
