The message
was from D'Arnot.
It read:
Fingerprints prove you Greystoke. Congratulations.
D'ARNOT.
As Tarzan finished reading, Clayton entered and came toward
him with extended hand.
Here was the man who had Tarzan's title, and Tarzan's estates,
and was going to marry the woman whom Tarzan loved--the
woman who loved Tarzan. A single word from Tarzan would
make a great difference in this man's life.
It would take away his title and his lands and his castles,
and--it would take them away from Jane Porter also.
"I say, old man," cried Clayton, "I haven't had a chance to
thank you for all you've done for us. It seems as though you
had your hands full saving our lives in Africa and here.
"I'm awfully glad you came on here. We must get better
acquainted. I often thought about you, you know, and the
remarkable circumstances of your environment.
"If it's any of my business, how the devil did you ever get
into that bally jungle?"
"I was born there," said Tarzan, quietly. "My mother was
an Ape, and of course she couldn't tell me much about it.
I never knew who my father was."
