| 62 | And a-- lover? |
| 62 | And if I should kill Lorquas Ptomel? |
| 62 | And that her grandmother''s cat may now have no one to polish its teeth? |
| 62 | And the nature of your expedition? |
| 62 | And what, think you, may have been the fate of the princess, Dejah Thoris? |
| 62 | And when you return, Tars Tarkas? |
| 62 | And you, Dejah Thoris, have parents and brothers and sisters? |
| 62 | And your father, Sola, is he with us now? |
| 62 | And your order? |
| 62 | Another enemy to harass me in my misery? |
| 62 | But how came you upon the roof, man? 62 Can not the war be ended at once?" |
| 62 | Can you not draw me a rough map of the country we must traverse, Dejah Thoris? |
| 62 | Can you see through me? |
| 62 | Chieftains,continued Lorquas Ptomel,"shall the jeddak, Tal Hajus, prove his fitness to rule over Tars Tarkas?" |
| 62 | Do people kiss, then, upon Barsoom? |
| 62 | Do you not recognize, even through paint and strange metal, the heart of your chieftain? |
| 62 | Does not this pierce your grandfather''s territory? |
| 62 | Does she know it? |
| 62 | Friendship? |
| 62 | Have they ever subjected you to cruelty and ignominy, Dejah Thoris? |
| 62 | How have you bewitched them? |
| 62 | How may I, Dejah Thoris? 62 How well are the machine sheds at the barracks guarded?" |
| 62 | How? |
| 62 | If I can open these doors is there a man who can start the engines? |
| 62 | If at all? |
| 62 | If, then, you are so familiar with earthly things,I asked,"why is it that you do not recognize me as identical with the inhabitants of that planet?" |
| 62 | In the name of my first ancestor, then,she continued,"where may you be from? |
| 62 | Is she injured? |
| 62 | Is there no other way we might reach Helium? |
| 62 | That you would not have promised yourself to the Zodangan prince had you known that I lived? |
| 62 | Then you too are a prisoner? 62 Think you, John Carter, that I would give my heart to you yesterday and today to another? |
| 62 | What are you saying to me? |
| 62 | What can be done, John Carter? |
| 62 | What do they say? |
| 62 | What do you mean, Dejah Thoris? |
| 62 | What do you mean, John Carter? |
| 62 | What does this mean? |
| 62 | What have I done now? |
| 62 | What is the matter with Dejah Thoris? |
| 62 | What is your name? |
| 62 | What manner of weird tale are you bringing me, Notan? |
| 62 | What will be the manner of her going out? |
| 62 | What,she cried,"are you not coming with us?" |
| 62 | When,asked one of the women,"will we enjoy the death throes of the red one? |
| 62 | Where are your quarters, John Carter? |
| 62 | Where is my erstwhile savior? |
| 62 | Where is the key, Sola? 62 Where is this man?" |
| 62 | Who are you and whence came you? |
| 62 | Who are you who speaks out of the darkness? |
| 62 | Who are you, Zodangan? |
| 62 | Who are you? |
| 62 | Why are you so quiet, Dejah Thoris? |
| 62 | Why will she not speak to me? |
| 62 | Why, oh, why will you not learn to live in amity with your fellows? 62 Yes, O Jeddak, but how had they access to the palace? |
| 62 | You are a brave people and you love bravery, but where was your mighty jeddak during the fighting today? 62 As I waited she rose to her full height and looking me straight in the eye said:What would Dotar Sojat, Thark, of Dejah Thoris his captive?" |
| 62 | But why, then, those arms and the regalia of a Tharkian chieftain? |
| 62 | By the mother of the further moon, John Carter, how came you here, and have you become a Darseen that you can change your color at will?" |
| 62 | Can it be that all Earth men are as you? |
| 62 | Can we not see everything which takes place upon Earth, as you call it; is it not hanging there in the heavens in plain sight?" |
| 62 | Can you not think of some way to save Helium from this disgrace?" |
| 62 | Chieftains, how sounds, Tars Tarkas, Jeddak of Thark?" |
| 62 | Did the Martian reach the pump room? |
| 62 | Did the vitalizing air reach the people of that distant planet in time to save them? |
| 62 | Do you believe me?" |
| 62 | Do you know what your unprecedented temerity would have cost you had you failed to kill either of the two chieftains whose metal you now wear?" |
| 62 | He rends defenseless women and little children in his lair, but how recently has one of you seen him fight with men? |
| 62 | How could I escape through these mighty walls? |
| 62 | I pondered over this report for some time, finally asking,"What might a sorak be, Sola?" |
| 62 | In the name of the ninth ray, what manner of creature are you?" |
| 62 | Is it of such that the Tharks fashion their jeddaks? |
| 62 | It is true I held the cudgel, but what could I do with it against his four great arms? |
| 62 | Tell me, are you human, or are you more than human?" |
| 62 | Then aloud she said:"Do you remember the night when you offended me? |
| 62 | What is your name? |
| 62 | What know you of him, cousin? |
| 62 | What say you?" |
| 62 | What was I to do? |
| 62 | Where did you learn it, John Carter?" |
| 62 | Where is this Virginia, your country, John Carter?" |
| 62 | Where your country?" |
| 62 | Why should I care what she thought? |
| 62 | Will you come?" |
| 62 | Will you not accompany us in one supreme effort to escape? |
| 62 | You have noticed that their bullets explode when they strike an object? |
| 62 | or does Lorquas Ptomel, Jed, intend holding her for ransom?" |
| 68 | Ah,he said,"you seek your ruler and his company?" |
| 68 | And should I deliver John Carter into your hands, Salensus Oll, would you not feel that I had more than satisfied the promise that I made you? |
| 68 | Can it be that we have distanced them already? |
| 68 | Can man breathe this polluted air and live? |
| 68 | Dare you aspire to one whom the Father of Therns has chosen-- one who might even be a fit mate for the Jeddak of Jeddaks himself? |
| 68 | FOLLOW THE ROPEWhat could it mean? |
| 68 | How left they,asked Thuvan Dihn,"and what direction did they take?" |
| 68 | How may we pass that which is impassable? |
| 68 | In the nick of time? |
| 68 | Is this the surprise you held in store for me? |
| 68 | Knew you that my daughter lay a prisoner in your palace? |
| 68 | Knew you this thing, Kulan Tith? |
| 68 | Know you of them? |
| 68 | Let us hope not,answered one of the warriors,"for then what should we do for slaves and sport?" |
| 68 | None shall leave the palace tonight,replied the Jeddak of Kaol,"and Matai Shang will give us assurance that no harm will come to the two women?" |
| 68 | Now,he said,"are you quite sure that you know the way to your destination? |
| 68 | Think you that John Carter, Prince of Helium, would stoop to assassination? 68 Think you that for your happiness Solan will give up his life? |
| 68 | Thuvan Dihn,he said, and his tone was friendly though sad,"who am I to judge my fellow- man? |
| 68 | What do you here? |
| 68 | What have you to say in explanation of these charges? |
| 68 | What know you of this man? 68 What shall we do?" |
| 68 | Where is Salensus Oll? 68 Where is the Jeddak of Jeddaks? |
| 68 | Where north could Matai Shang find an asylum? |
| 68 | Who are you,he asked,"who dare enter the land of Kaol and hunt in the royal forest of the jeddak?" |
| 68 | Who are you,he cried,"and what means this intrusion within the precincts of the women''s garden? |
| 68 | Who are you? |
| 68 | Will they never cease their fatal curiosity? |
| 68 | You are sure, then, that we have found the way to the land of the yellow men? |
| 68 | You wonder, John Carter,she said,"what strange thing has wrought this change in me? |
| 68 | Against what, pray, should we guard this long- forgotten, abysmal path? |
| 68 | Am I right?" |
| 68 | And what think you of the ridiculous matter of the light? |
| 68 | Are you satisfied, Thuvan Dihn?" |
| 68 | But how had he accomplished it? |
| 68 | Can Kulan Tith be such a fool as to believe that lie, whispered in his ear by the Holy Thern or Dator Thurid? |
| 68 | Could he suspect my true identity? |
| 68 | Could it be possible that they had escaped? |
| 68 | Could it be that I was laboriously working my way into some new trap? |
| 68 | Could it be that my incomparable princess still clung to the hideous faith from which I had rescued her world? |
| 68 | Could it be that my theory was entirely wrong? |
| 68 | Could it be that these were four words, and that they were intended to carry a message to me? |
| 68 | Could they ignore the fact that to me, and me alone, was due the rescue of Carthoris, of Dejah Thoris, of Mors Kajak, of Tardos Mors? |
| 68 | Ever heard you of such mad work, John Carter? |
| 68 | Had Phaidor''s slim blade found that beloved heart? |
| 68 | Had the nervous strain resulted in a hallucination, or did the door really move? |
| 68 | How came you here?" |
| 68 | How could I dream that my beloved Virginian lay behind that fierce beard and that yellow skin?" |
| 68 | How may I aid you? |
| 68 | How, then, may you accomplish the impossible?" |
| 68 | I looked at Dejah Thoris, smiling, and as I drew her close to me I whispered:"Why not?" |
| 68 | Indeed, why not? |
| 68 | Lives there upon any world such another as John Carter, Prince of Helium? |
| 68 | Reduce the city and myself to ashes? |
| 68 | The formula was complete; but-- what did it mean? |
| 68 | There was the door that would lead me within the prison, but where was the means to open it? |
| 68 | Thurid and the therns were nowhere to be seen-- into which of the dark holes had they disappeared? |
| 68 | Was Dejah Thoris preparing to take her place beside me? |
| 68 | Was he commencing to suspect? |
| 68 | Well, what of it? |
| 68 | Were the messages spurious, after all? |
| 68 | What chance had I against a whole nation? |
| 68 | What could I gain by betraying you to those who have ruined my nation and my house?" |
| 68 | What could be the meaning of his sudden change toward me? |
| 68 | What have you to say?" |
| 68 | What hellish fate had led me to select from three possible avenues the two that were wrong? |
| 68 | What is your judgment?" |
| 68 | What matter ages in this world of perpetual youth? |
| 68 | What may be done? |
| 68 | What mean you, man? |
| 68 | What rope? |
| 68 | What say you?" |
| 68 | What say you?" |
| 68 | What was I to do? |
| 68 | What would you have me do? |
| 68 | When you have passed beyond this chamber in your flight, what can prevent Solan replacing the switch as it was before your vile hand touched it? |
| 68 | Where is Salensus Oll?" |
| 68 | Where may he be found?" |
| 68 | Which way should I turn? |
| 68 | Why had I permitted the rapid development of new situations to efface the recollection of that menacing danger? |
| 68 | Why had the sight of that evil countenance not warned me to greater caution? |
| 68 | Why not end my misery now rather than drag out a few more wretched days in this dark pit? |
| 68 | Would the lock click at the end of those seemingly interminable intervals of time? |
| 68 | Would you not choose me rather than the other?" |
| 68 | You understand?" |
| 29405 | And by what name has your mother called you, my boy? |
| 29405 | And if we are victorious,I asked,"what then-- freedom?" |
| 29405 | And should a plant man die? |
| 29405 | And such as you are a Dator of the First Born? |
| 29405 | And tell me, what of Carthoris, our son? |
| 29405 | And that was the River Iss, emptying into the Lost Sea of Korus in the Valley Dor? |
| 29405 | And thou, Hor Vastus,I asked,"what has been thy success?" |
| 29405 | And where is Dejah Thoris now? |
| 29405 | And where is Tars Tarkas? |
| 29405 | And where is this city of which you speak? |
| 29405 | And whom,I added,"has the honour of serving been accorded me?" |
| 29405 | And you have fought often? |
| 29405 | Are we to fight for the edification of the First Born, or is it something worse than that? |
| 29405 | Are you of Helium? |
| 29405 | As you will, John Carter,said Hor Vastus,"but-- What was that?" |
| 29405 | But do you not by every means encourage the superstition among those of the outside world? |
| 29405 | But how will you know that any craft is moored near Shador? 29405 Can no power stop this awful revolving thing? |
| 29405 | Can we not better make the attempt after dark? |
| 29405 | Can you swim? |
| 29405 | Dejah Thoris? 29405 Do not the therns themselves do likewise with the poor creatures who take the voluntary pilgrimage down the River of Mystery? |
| 29405 | Do you believe that, Xodar? |
| 29405 | Do you find the study of the lower orders interesting? |
| 29405 | Do you know where we are going? |
| 29405 | Do you see now how we will escape? |
| 29405 | Do you tell me, John Carter, that you know not where you be? |
| 29405 | Do you understand now, O Prince,she said,"why a million warriors guard the domains of the Holy Therns by day and by night?" |
| 29405 | Do you wish me with my black, short hair to pose as a yellow- haired priest of this infernal cult? |
| 29405 | Each has done his duty, and now, Kantos Kan, may we not repair at once to Hastor and get under way before to- morrow''s sun? |
| 29405 | Had they not better throw these bodies to the plant men and then return to their quarters, O Mighty One? |
| 29405 | Hast ever heard of the Temple of the Sun? 29405 His short- sword?" |
| 29405 | How came you here at all? |
| 29405 | How came you here, Thuvia? |
| 29405 | How came you here? |
| 29405 | How do you do it? |
| 29405 | How does it seem,I asked him,"to have the tables turned? |
| 29405 | How is it, Tars Tarkas,I asked,"that the men of Thark take not the accustomed action against one who returns from the bosom of Iss?" |
| 29405 | How long will it be before they may return for us? |
| 29405 | How may I aid in the adventure? |
| 29405 | If you are not of Thuria, then where? |
| 29405 | If you have not been here all these years where indeed have you been, and how is it that I find you here to- day? |
| 29405 | In time to save your Princess? |
| 29405 | Is Sator Throg to be murdered by his own vassals? |
| 29405 | Is it not a just retribution? |
| 29405 | Is it not the extreme of rashness to thus put ourselves again, unarmed, in the power of the First Born? |
| 29405 | Is what he has been telling me true? |
| 29405 | It is true then that you eat human flesh? |
| 29405 | It will make escape more difficult,I said, and then I shrugged my shoulders; for what, pray, is the pleasure of doing an easy thing? |
| 29405 | Know you the secret of it then? |
| 29405 | Many prisoners travel to Issus in your grim craft, Yersted? |
| 29405 | Might you remember one whom men called Dejah Thoris? |
| 29405 | Of course; who would dare doubt? |
| 29405 | Reverse? |
| 29405 | She eats human flesh? |
| 29405 | The red one is to accompany us? |
| 29405 | Then where? |
| 29405 | Thinkest thou to defeat the eternal laws of life and death? 29405 Thinkest thou, O fools, that Issus wilt give up her own? |
| 29405 | This is the man who slew seven of the First Born and, bare- handed, bound Dator Xodar with his own harness? |
| 29405 | To be put to death by mine own people, and render my memory a disgrace to my family and my nation? 29405 Was it then Holy Therns who felt the weight of John Carter''s hand?" |
| 29405 | Were you connected with the rising of the slaves? |
| 29405 | What blasphemy is this, dog of a pirate? |
| 29405 | What can be detaining Tan Gama? |
| 29405 | What course? |
| 29405 | What death? |
| 29405 | What do you here, fellows? |
| 29405 | What do you here? |
| 29405 | What do you make of it all? |
| 29405 | What do you make of it, Kantos Kan? |
| 29405 | What do you mean? |
| 29405 | What do you mean? |
| 29405 | What do you mean? |
| 29405 | What do you mean? |
| 29405 | What do you mean? |
| 29405 | What do you mean? |
| 29405 | What has become of Parthak? |
| 29405 | What if I were from the Temple of Issus? |
| 29405 | What is the hour? |
| 29405 | What is the name or title of the officer in charge of these guards? |
| 29405 | What is the object of this assembly? |
| 29405 | What manner of justice be this? |
| 29405 | What mean you, Kantos Kan,I whispered,"by''his poor mother''?" |
| 29405 | What mean you? |
| 29405 | What means this, Thuvia? |
| 29405 | What means this? |
| 29405 | What now? |
| 29405 | What of the resemblance? |
| 29405 | What shall we do? |
| 29405 | What shall we say to explain them? |
| 29405 | What was that? |
| 29405 | What will be my fate? |
| 29405 | What will the fellow do first, Thuvia? |
| 29405 | What would you of Thurid? |
| 29405 | What, my boy? |
| 29405 | What,I cried,"she is not dead, then?" |
| 29405 | What? |
| 29405 | What? |
| 29405 | When shall we make the attempt? |
| 29405 | Where are we? |
| 29405 | Where are we? |
| 29405 | Where can we be going in such a tiny pool of water? |
| 29405 | Where have you been? |
| 29405 | Where in the deuce are we? |
| 29405 | Where is Dator Yersted? |
| 29405 | Where is Dejah Thoris? |
| 29405 | Where is Dejah Thoris? |
| 29405 | Where is Issus? |
| 29405 | Where is the Princess of Helium? |
| 29405 | Where is the white man? |
| 29405 | Where is the white slave? |
| 29405 | Who are you, white man? |
| 29405 | Who are you? |
| 29405 | Who are you? |
| 29405 | Who knows? |
| 29405 | Who speaks? |
| 29405 | Who was your father? |
| 29405 | Why Helium? |
| 29405 | Why do n''t they jump in and destroy these fliers? |
| 29405 | Why is it that we see no therns? |
| 29405 | Why not take a number of banths and set them loose before us above ground? |
| 29405 | Why not the simpler way? |
| 29405 | Why should she send for me? |
| 29405 | Why so long, Tan Gama? |
| 29405 | Why were these prisoners not disarmed? |
| 29405 | Why, no,replied the black,"it has been no year since she gazed upon the divine glory of the radiant face of--""No year?" |
| 29405 | You are not sure that he is dead, then? |
| 29405 | You mean that she will be killed merely to thwart me? |
| 29405 | Your father is dead? |
| 29405 | Your son? |
| 29405 | ''Well, nephew,''he greeted me,''do you feel as though you were seeing a ghost, or suffering from the effects of too many of Uncle Ben''s juleps?'' |
| 29405 | And Dejah Thoris? |
| 29405 | And she lives yet?" |
| 29405 | And what is the name of the commander of the submarine?" |
| 29405 | Are you an enemy of the therns?" |
| 29405 | Be they upon Barsoom?" |
| 29405 | But how is it that you wear the golden hair and the jewelled circlet of a Holy Thern?" |
| 29405 | But why would you return to face again the fierce banth, or whatever other form of destruction they have loosed within that awful trap?" |
| 29405 | CHAPTER VI THE BLACK PIRATES OF BARSOOM"What is it?" |
| 29405 | Can you tell me why you foster the cruel deception?" |
| 29405 | Carthoris, where are the apartments of Issus?" |
| 29405 | Could I be mistaken? |
| 29405 | Could it be possible that in some far- off corner of the planet there still existed a remnant of the ancient race of yellow men? |
| 29405 | Dejah Thoris?" |
| 29405 | Did not her mighty messenger, the ancient Iss, bear you upon her leaden bosom at your own behest to the Valley Dor? |
| 29405 | Didst not note how carefully he selected the plumpest and tenderest of the lot?" |
| 29405 | Do not you also?" |
| 29405 | Do you believe?" |
| 29405 | Do you know what thing it was that convinced me more than all the others?" |
| 29405 | Do you understand now where you be, John Carter?" |
| 29405 | How can it be night, then?" |
| 29405 | How else could we live did the outer world not furnish our labour and our food? |
| 29405 | I am ready to defy Issus herself; but what will it avail us? |
| 29405 | I exclaimed;"but, man, is not there where lie the domains of the therns from which I but just escaped?" |
| 29405 | I had no quarrel with the therns before, but can you wonder that I feel no great love for them now? |
| 29405 | If we acted in time, might we not even yet escape before the general alarm was sounded? |
| 29405 | Is it less than just that you should suffer as you have caused others to suffer?" |
| 29405 | Is there none who holds the secret of these terrible bars?" |
| 29405 | Might they not still open the way of freedom? |
| 29405 | Notest thou not the remarkable resemblance between this Holy Thern and thyself?" |
| 29405 | Or was he really dead after all, never to return either to his mother Earth or his beloved Mars? |
| 29405 | Or, had he found that he had been too late, and thus gone back to a living death upon a dead world? |
| 29405 | Then, turning to me,"What are your intentions concerning me?" |
| 29405 | There we may live for a time, and who knows what may transpire to aid us to escape?" |
| 29405 | Think you that Phaidor, daughter of Matai Shang, supplicates? |
| 29405 | Think you that a thern would demean himself by labour?" |
| 29405 | Think you, Tars Tarkas, that John Carter will fly at the first shriek of a cowardly foe who dare not come out into the open and face a good blade?" |
| 29405 | Thinkest thou to escape from whence in all the countless ages but a single soul has fled? |
| 29405 | To be prisoner of your erstwhile captive?" |
| 29405 | Was not Thuvia for fifteen years a plaything and a slave? |
| 29405 | Was this not indeed a veritable hell, peopled by lost souls, dead and damned beyond all hope? |
| 29405 | What assurance that I might not as well be hurtled to some far- distant star of another solar system, as to Mars? |
| 29405 | What guide had I through the trackless waste of interplanetary space? |
| 29405 | What is the best way, Thuvia, the shortest way out of this celestial Hades?" |
| 29405 | What reward shall be meted to John Carter in accordance with the acts he has committed?" |
| 29405 | What say you? |
| 29405 | What to her is your puny outer world passion for the vile creature you chose in your other life? |
| 29405 | What''simpler way''?" |
| 29405 | What, gentlemen, is your verdict?" |
| 29405 | Where have you been, John Carter?" |
| 29405 | Where have you been, O my Prince? |
| 29405 | Where is Issus? |
| 29405 | Who are you?" |
| 29405 | Who was he?" |
| 29405 | Why indeed should they maintain a watch? |
| 29405 | Why is it that darkness so magnifies our dangers? |
| 29405 | Why not win to freedom?" |
| 29405 | Why not? |
| 29405 | Will you listen?" |
| 29405 | Wouldst cheat the mysterious Issus, Goddess of Death, of her just dues? |
| 29405 | You found her well and awaiting you?'' |
| 29405 | You have been back to Mars? |
| 29405 | You have returned from the bosom of Iss?" |
| 29405 | he exclaimed in evident pleasure,"you do not deny it, then? |
| 29405 | she asked,"and what your mission, that you have the temerity to attempt to escape from the Valley Dor and the death you have chosen?" |
| 64 | And by what name has your mother called you, my boy? |
| 64 | And if we are victorious,I asked,"what then-- freedom?" |
| 64 | And should a plant man die? |
| 64 | And such as you are a Dator of the First Born? |
| 64 | And tell me, what of Carthoris, our son? |
| 64 | And that was the River Iss, emptying into the Lost Sea of Korus in the Valley Dor? |
| 64 | And thou, Hor Vastus,I asked,"what has been thy success?" |
| 64 | And where is Dejah Thoris now? |
| 64 | And where is Tars Tarkas? |
| 64 | And where is this city of which you speak? |
| 64 | And whom,I added,"has the honour of serving been accorded me?" |
| 64 | And you have fought often? |
| 64 | Are we to fight for the edification of the First Born, or is it something worse than that? |
| 64 | Are you of Helium? |
| 64 | As you will, John Carter,said Hor Vastus,"but-- What was that?" |
| 64 | But do you not by every means encourage the superstition among those of the outside world? |
| 64 | But how will you know that any craft is moored near Shador? 64 Can no power stop this awful revolving thing? |
| 64 | Can we not better make the attempt after dark? |
| 64 | Can you swim? |
| 64 | Dejah Thoris? 64 Do not the therns themselves do likewise with the poor creatures who take the voluntary pilgrimage down the River of Mystery? |
| 64 | Do you believe that, Xodar? |
| 64 | Do you find the study of the lower orders interesting? |
| 64 | Do you know where we are going? |
| 64 | Do you see now how we will escape? |
| 64 | Do you tell me, John Carter, that you know not where you be? |
| 64 | Do you understand now, O Prince,she said,"why a million warriors guard the domains of the Holy Therns by day and by night?" |
| 64 | Do you wish me with my black, short hair to pose as a yellow- haired priest of this infernal cult? |
| 64 | Each has done his duty, and now, Kantos Kan, may we not repair at once to Hastor and get under way before to- morrow''s sun? |
| 64 | Had they not better throw these bodies to the plant men and then return to their quarters, O Mighty One? |
| 64 | Hast ever heard of the Temple of the Sun? 64 His short- sword?" |
| 64 | How came you here at all? |
| 64 | How came you here, Thuvia? |
| 64 | How came you here? |
| 64 | How do you do it? |
| 64 | How does it seem,I asked him,"to have the tables turned? |
| 64 | How is it, Tars Tarkas,I asked,"that the men of Thark take not the accustomed action against one who returns from the bosom of Iss?" |
| 64 | How long will it be before they may return for us? |
| 64 | How may I aid in the adventure? |
| 64 | If you are not of Thuria, then where? |
| 64 | If you have not been here all these years where indeed have you been, and how is it that I find you here to- day? |
| 64 | In time to save your Princess? |
| 64 | Is Sator Throg to be murdered by his own vassals? |
| 64 | Is it not a just retribution? |
| 64 | Is it not the extreme of rashness to thus put ourselves again, unarmed, in the power of the First Born? |
| 64 | Is what he has been telling me true? |
| 64 | It is true then that you eat human flesh? |
| 64 | It will make escape more difficult,I said, and then I shrugged my shoulders; for what, pray, is the pleasure of doing an easy thing? |
| 64 | Know you the secret of it then? |
| 64 | Many prisoners travel to Issus in your grim craft, Yersted? |
| 64 | Might you remember one whom men called Dejah Thoris? |
| 64 | Of course; who would dare doubt? |
| 64 | Reverse? |
| 64 | She eats human flesh? |
| 64 | The red one is to accompany us? |
| 64 | Then where? |
| 64 | Thinkest thou to defeat the eternal laws of life and death? 64 Thinkest thou, O fools, that Issus wilt give up her own? |
| 64 | This is the man who slew seven of the First Born and, bare- handed, bound Dator Xodar with his own harness? |
| 64 | To be put to death by mine own people, and render my memory a disgrace to my family and my nation? 64 Was it then Holy Therns who felt the weight of John Carter''s hand?" |
| 64 | Were you connected with the rising of the slaves? |
| 64 | What blasphemy is this, dog of a pirate? |
| 64 | What can be detaining Tan Gama? |
| 64 | What course? |
| 64 | What death? |
| 64 | What do you here, fellows? |
| 64 | What do you here? |
| 64 | What do you make of it all? |
| 64 | What do you make of it, Kantos Kan? |
| 64 | What do you mean? |
| 64 | What do you mean? |
| 64 | What do you mean? |
| 64 | What do you mean? |
| 64 | What do you mean? |
| 64 | What do you mean? |
| 64 | What has become of Parthak? |
| 64 | What if I were from the Temple of Issus? |
| 64 | What is the hour? |
| 64 | What is the name or title of the officer in charge of these guards? |
| 64 | What is the object of this assembly? |
| 64 | What manner of justice be this? |
| 64 | What mean you, Kantos Kan,I whispered,"by''his poor mother''?" |
| 64 | What mean you? |
| 64 | What means this, Thuvia? |
| 64 | What means this? |
| 64 | What now? |
| 64 | What of the resemblance? |
| 64 | What shall we do? |
| 64 | What shall we say to explain them? |
| 64 | What was that? |
| 64 | What will be my fate? |
| 64 | What will the fellow do first, Thuvia? |
| 64 | What would you of Thurid? |
| 64 | What, my boy? |
| 64 | What,I cried,"she is not dead, then?" |
| 64 | What? |
| 64 | What? |
| 64 | When shall we make the attempt? |
| 64 | Where are we? |
| 64 | Where are we? |
| 64 | Where can we be going in such a tiny pool of water? |
| 64 | Where have you been? |
| 64 | Where in the deuce are we? |
| 64 | Where is Dator Yersted? |
| 64 | Where is Dejah Thoris? |
| 64 | Where is Dejah Thoris? |
| 64 | Where is Issus? |
| 64 | Where is the Princess of Helium? |
| 64 | Where is the white man? |
| 64 | Where is the white slave? |
| 64 | Who are you, white man? |
| 64 | Who are you? |
| 64 | Who are you? |
| 64 | Who knows? |
| 64 | Who speaks? |
| 64 | Who was your father? |
| 64 | Why Helium? |
| 64 | Why do n''t they jump in and destroy these fliers? |
| 64 | Why is it that we see no therns? |
| 64 | Why not take a number of banths and set them loose before us above ground? |
| 64 | Why not the simpler way? |
| 64 | Why should she send for me? |
| 64 | Why so long, Tan Gama? |
| 64 | Why were these prisoners not disarmed? |
| 64 | Why, no,replied the black,"it has been no year since she gazed upon the divine glory of the radiant face of--""No year?" |
| 64 | You are not sure that he is dead, then? |
| 64 | You mean that she will be killed merely to thwart me? |
| 64 | Your father is dead? |
| 64 | Your son? |
| 64 | ''Well, nephew,''he greeted me,''do you feel as though you were seeing a ghost, or suffering from the effects of too many of Uncle Ben''s juleps?'' |
| 64 | And Dejah Thoris? |
| 64 | And she lives yet?" |
| 64 | And what is the name of the commander of the submarine?" |
| 64 | Are you an enemy of the therns?" |
| 64 | Be they upon Barsoom?" |
| 64 | But how is it that you wear the golden hair and the jewelled circlet of a Holy Thern?" |
| 64 | But why would you return to face again the fierce banth, or whatever other form of destruction they have loosed within that awful trap?" |
| 64 | CHAPTER VI THE BLACK PIRATES OF BARSOOM"What is it?" |
| 64 | Can you tell me why you foster the cruel deception?" |
| 64 | Carthoris, where are the apartments of Issus?" |
| 64 | Could I be mistaken? |
| 64 | Could it be possible that in some far- off corner of the planet there still existed a remnant of the ancient race of yellow men? |
| 64 | Dejah Thoris?" |
| 64 | Did not her mighty messenger, the ancient Iss, bear you upon her leaden bosom at your own behest to the Valley Dor? |
| 64 | Didst not note how carefully he selected the plumpest and tenderest of the lot?" |
| 64 | Do not you also?" |
| 64 | Do you believe?" |
| 64 | Do you know what thing it was that convinced me more than all the others?" |
| 64 | Do you understand now where you be, John Carter?" |
| 64 | How can it be night, then?" |
| 64 | How else could we live did the outer world not furnish our labour and our food? |
| 64 | I am ready to defy Issus herself; but what will it avail us? |
| 64 | I exclaimed;"but, man, is not there where lie the domains of the therns from which I but just escaped?" |
| 64 | I had no quarrel with the therns before, but can you wonder that I feel no great love for them now? |
| 64 | If we acted in time, might we not even yet escape before the general alarm was sounded? |
| 64 | Is it less than just that you should suffer as you have caused others to suffer?" |
| 64 | Is there none who holds the secret of these terrible bars?" |
| 64 | Might they not still open the way of freedom? |
| 64 | Notest thou not the remarkable resemblance between this Holy Thern and thyself?" |
| 64 | Or was he really dead after all, never to return either to his mother Earth or his beloved Mars? |
| 64 | Or, had he found that he had been too late, and thus gone back to a living death upon a dead world? |
| 64 | Then, turning to me,"What are your intentions concerning me?" |
| 64 | There we may live for a time, and who knows what may transpire to aid us to escape?" |
| 64 | Think you that Phaidor, daughter of Matai Shang, supplicates? |
| 64 | Think you that a thern would demean himself by labour?" |
| 64 | Think you, Tars Tarkas, that John Carter will fly at the first shriek of a cowardly foe who dare not come out into the open and face a good blade?" |
| 64 | Thinkest thou to escape from whence in all the countless ages but a single soul has fled? |
| 64 | To be prisoner of your erstwhile captive?" |
| 64 | Was not Thuvia for fifteen years a plaything and a slave? |
| 64 | Was this not indeed a veritable hell, peopled by lost souls, dead and damned beyond all hope? |
| 64 | What assurance that I might not as well be hurtled to some far- distant star of another solar system, as to Mars? |
| 64 | What guide had I through the trackless waste of interplanetary space? |
| 64 | What is the best way, Thuvia, the shortest way out of this celestial Hades?" |
| 64 | What reward shall be meted to John Carter in accordance with the acts he has committed?" |
| 64 | What say you? |
| 64 | What to her is your puny outer world passion for the vile creature you chose in your other life? |
| 64 | What''simpler way''?" |
| 64 | What, gentlemen, is your verdict?" |
| 64 | Where have you been, John Carter?" |
| 64 | Where have you been, O my Prince? |
| 64 | Where is Issus? |
| 64 | Who are you?" |
| 64 | Who was he?" |
| 64 | Why indeed should they maintain a watch? |
| 64 | Why is it that darkness so magnifies our dangers? |
| 64 | Why not win to freedom?" |
| 64 | Why not? |
| 64 | Will you listen?" |
| 64 | Wouldst cheat the mysterious Issus, Goddess of Death, of her just dues? |
| 64 | You found her well and awaiting you?'' |
| 64 | You have been back to Mars? |
| 64 | You have returned from the bosom of Iss?" |
| 64 | he exclaimed in evident pleasure,"you do not deny it, then? |
| 64 | she asked,"and what your mission, that you have the temerity to attempt to escape from the Valley Dor and the death you have chosen?" |
