The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Tarzan the Untamed by Edgar Rice Burroughs: tain a good look at his captor, and, if he had been puzzled
and frightened before, those sensations were nothing to what
he experienced now.
Who and what could this almost naked, white savage be?
He had heard him speak but once -- when he had cautioned
him to silence -- and then in excellent German and the well-
modulated tones of culture. He watched him now as the
fascinated toad watches the snake that is about to devour it.
He saw the graceful limbs and symmetrical body motionless
as a marble statue as the creature crouched in the conceal-
ment of the leafy foliage. Not a muscle, not a nerve moved.
