As the great thoat and his rider hurtled past, Carthoris swung his long-sword in a mighty cut. Another figure sprang from a cluster of dense foliage.
For but an instant the searchlight halted upon Thuvia of Ptarth. With a savage cry of triumph, Thar Ban disappeared down the black canyon of the Avenue of Quays.
Between them and the city raged a terrific battle. The man turned dreamy eyes sleepily upon them.
A steel blade pierced the very center of his heart. I prefer to die standing, she replied.
The jeddak of Lothar sank senseless to the marble floor. Stay, my chieftain, Stay -- I love you!
