Gradually
he
became
accustomed
to
the
strange
noises
and
the
odd
ways
of
civilization
,
so
that
presently
none
might
know
that
two
short
months
before
,
this
handsome
Frenchman
in
immaculate
white
ducks
,
who
laughed
and
chatted
with
the
gayest
of
them
,
had
been
swinging
naked
through
primeval
forests
to
pounce
upon
some
unwary
victim
,
which
,
raw
,
was
to
fill
his
savage
belly
.
The
knife
and
fork
,
so
contemptuously
flung
aside
a
month
before
,
Tarzan
now
manipulated
as
exquisitely
as
did
the
polished
D'Arnot
.
So
apt
a
pupil
had
he
been
that
the
young
Frenchman
had
labored
assiduously
to
make
of
Tarzan
of
the
Apes
a
polished
gentleman
in
so
far
as
nicety
of
manners
and
speech
were
concerned
.
"
God
made
you
a
gentleman
at
heart
,
my
friend
,
"
D'Arnot
had
said
;
"
but
we
want
His
works
to
show
upon
the
exterior
also
.
"
As
soon
as
they
had
reached
the
little
port
,
D'Arnot
had
cabled
his
government
of
his
safety
,
and
requested
a
three-months
'
leave
,
which
had
been
granted
.
He
had
also
cabled
his
bankers
for
funds
,
and
the
enforced
wait
of
a
month
,
under
which
both
chafed
,
was
due
to
their
inability
to
charter
a
vessel
for
the
return
to
Tarzan
's
jungle
after
the
treasure
.
During
their
stay
at
the
coast
town
"
Monsieur
Tarzan
"
became
the
wonder
of
both
whites
and
blacks
because
of
several
occurrences
which
to
Tarzan
seemed
the
merest
of
nothings
.
Once
a
huge
black
,
crazed
by
drink
,
had
run
amuck
and
terrorized
the
town
,
until
his
evil
star
had
led
him
to
where
the
black-haired
French
giant
lolled
upon
the
veranda
of
the
hotel
.
Mounting
the
broad
steps
,
with
brandished
knife
,
the
Negro
made
straight
for
a
party
of
four
men
sitting
at
a
table
sipping
the
inevitable
absinthe
.
Shouting
in
alarm
,
the
four
took
to
their
heels
,
and
then
the
black
spied
Tarzan
.
