You are always making trouble, growled the First Jed. You are Tor-dur-bar, the strongest man in Morbus?
And for what reason did The Warlord of Barsoom search for Ras Thavas? Iam a very important person, Tor-dur-bar.
If I could get Tor-dur-bar assigned to the body guard of a jed I mightthus learn the fate of Janai.
One was only a great mass ofliving flesh with an eye somewhere and a single hand.
We found Gantun Gur securely trussed up and heavily guarded. The officer conducted me to a large guardroom where there were manyother hormad warriors.
I saw Ras Thavass browclear as though he had suddenly arrived at the solution of a problem.
The features of manywere grotesquely misplaced.
I should, however, like a body and face like yours, said Tor-dur-bar.
None of the rest of you had everheard of him.
She will have the best of everything andwont have to go to the vats of Ras Thavas. Perhaps he meant that he would obey you, serve you.
Yes; now be on your way, and dont come back here again.
We shall find Tor-dur-barshead and see if it recalls you.
We shall take a vote on it, said the Fourth Jed. He may not be beautiful, said the Third Jed, but I shall take himfor my guard.
All their reactions arepurely mechanical. There are but two inhabitants of Jasoom on Mars. I succeeded quite beyond my expectations, or his either. I dont need theassistance of any fifth-rate brain to decide what is best for me. When I told John Carter and Ras Thavas about it, they had a good laugh. Perhaps he meant that he would obey you, serve you. I think it an excellent idea, I said, for I wanted all the friends Icould get. He never saw his own face often enough to become familiarwith it.
Before that I shall havetrained another assistant, so that he can transfer my brain to a newbody.
