Watchonly for Lady Greystoke, and when you see her
take her awayfrom those who guard her. Why, to the west, of course, replied Kraski.
What makes you think we wastravelin east? Come, Jad-bal-ja, commanded Tarzan; let no
one harmTarzan of the Apes. They have a number of rifles, commented Lady
Greystoke;that looks rather bad for us.
I am only bound, but had it not been for Jad-bal-ja
Ihad been dead beneath your sacrificial knife. Youdo not deserve it, but I cannot
see white men perish here inthe jungle. Send with them, then,sufficient warriors to
feed and guard them during thejourney. My Waziri told me as much, said Tarzan, but
have you seenaught of Luvini since?
For a moment there was a cessation
ofhostilities.
Come, Jad-bal-ja, commanded Tarzan; let no one
harmTarzan of the Apes. I knew all the time that there was somethinwrong, and I just
got it figured out. And blime, too, said Throck, hi sleeps on the groundhafter this,
lions or no lions. Throck looked at his partner in stupid surprise.
Blime, said Throck, what was all the bloomin fuss
aboutanyhow?
He will sleep here beside Tarzan of the Apes,
andwhat one of us does not hear the other will.
Had they made a completecircle, and was this again
the camp they had been fleeing?
Stay here and make agreat show against those sons
of jackals. She spoke authoritatively, as one who isaccustomed to command and knows
whereof she speaks. We cankill them easily, but we did not come to make
war.
Kraski laughed and turned away to resume the march
in thedirection he had chosen. It is she, said Usula, turning away to hide his grief
asthe tears rolled down his ebon cheeks.
He can take care of himself, growled Throck,
resuming hisbreakfast.
Had they made a completecircle, and was this again
the camp they had been fleeing? It takes more as a bunch ofniggers to bluff Adolph
Bluber, he said pompously. Blime, said Throck, what was all the bloomin fuss
aboutanyhow?
We cankill them easily, but we did not come to make
war.
Come, I am going to find out; andwithout waiting
for an answer she walked boldly toward theboma. He swung the sacrificial knife high
above his head.
Dis suit,vot it cost me tventy guineas, look at it.
