Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for March 27, 2023

A crude “Monty Hall” diversion.

Apparently Tira is an observant Quaker.

in speach but not in dress :-)

If she’s speaking English, then explain why in the H*ll she’s able to speak English? If she’s not speaking English, then how do the men understand her? And if we’re to understand this is a translation of Gawd-Knows-What why do the men understand GKW? And, if a translation of GKW, why put it in archaic English and not modern colloquial? Perhaps kinsler33 and timsoft are on to something — 300 years ago a Quaker without GPS stumbled on them, and rather than teaching him their language they abandoned their language to learn his.

Oh ye of little faythe.

Shouldn’t that be “thou will find thy women…”?

“They are behind the first door. Unless that is the door with the tiger behind it. I can never remember.”

Hmm, said D’Arnot. Oh yeah? Hmm, HMM, said Chiram.

Don’t you believes it!

Nah. Go for what’s behind curtain #2!!!

The Yorkshire accent is growing on me.

“Behind the second door is certain death. Or is it the other way around? Whatever. Ye will find it out.”

“And, later this evening, you will return to my chamber…”

Yeah, right Tira…..remember the tale of “The Lady & The Tiger”? Ho, ho, HO!!!
