At the Earth's Core

At the Earth's Core written by written by both Edgar Rice Burroughs and Doctor Seuss


I noticed a weirld listenning to the Liverbox audiobook of At the Earth's Core and noticed this.




"Then shall I tell you. When a man of Pellucidar intervenes between another man and the woman the other man would have, the woman belongs to the victor. Dian the Beautiful belongs to you. You should have claimed her or released her. Had you taken her hand, it would have indicated your desire to make her your mate, and had you raised her hand above her head and then dropped it, it would have meant that you did not wish her for a mate and that you released her from all obligation to you. By doing neither you have put upon her the greatest affront that a man may put upon a woman. Now she is your slave. No man will take her as mate, or may take her honorably, until he shall have overcome you in combat, and men do not choose slave women as their mates—at least not the men of Pellucidar."
"I did not know, Ghak," I cried. "I did not know. Not for all Pellucidar would I have harmed Dian the Beautiful by word, or look, or act of mine. I do not want her as my slave.
Even notice,this paragraph of  Edgar Rice Burroughs almost sounds more like Doctor Seuss
Imagine,if you will the rest of David Innes responces went like a Doctor Zaus creation and as Burroughs wrote him..

I did not to offend Dian the Beautiful.I did not,nor did I want to offend the Thipdars behind her  or the Riptars

behind them.I also,did not want to offend her green eggs and ham.

I have an Iron Mole,I like to dig,with a man named Fig.
I said to Abner Perry,we must hurry.
I was agast,as I watched the cruel Mahars,with their great wings falling like tappers.
