Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for July 19, 2019

Of course. the Arabs are not smart enough to have sentries on the outskirts of all sides of the fort. (a lot of prepositional phrases…on my part.)

And so, the red shirts followed the prime protagonist…

“Who’s the more foolish, the fool, or the fool who follows him?”

~O.W. Kenobi

All were volunteers except the bugler, he was volun-told.

Ummmm….Don’t they have a gate they can just slip through? They have to climb over their own walls? Maybe they can use that ladder the Arabs had in order to get back into the fort.

Are Tarzan and Maxian the only two legionnaires who “lost” their headgear? Too much hair, perhaps…….

Desperate men do desperate things.

So lock up yours doors / And don’t go outside / My darling, there’s nowhere to hide. / Every scream and cry / Feeds their appetite / All because There’s a full moon / A full moon Tonight.

the door might have been easier

Getting back to the show: The complacent Arabs will assume their advantage in numbers does not require them to post sentries because the French soldiers are not perceived as a threat. However, unlike the Tortoise and the overconfident Hare, the Tortoise is going wabbit hunting.
