It is strange how new and unexpected conditions bring out unguessed ability to meet them. - Edgar Rice Burroughs

Men were indeed more foolish and more cruel than the beasts of the jungle! How fortunate was he who lived in the peace and security of the great forest!

P43- that the huge, fierce brute loved this child of another race is beyond question.

I verily believe that a man's way with women is in inverse ratio to his prowess among men. The weakling and the saphead have often great ability to charm the fair sex, while the fighting man who can face a thousand real dangers unafraid, sits hiding in the shadows like some frightened child.
