"You warned me once before, did you not?" asked Tarzan, "the night that Gemnon and I went to the house of Thudos."
"Yes, that was I," replied Phobeg.
"Why have you done these things?" asked the ape-man.
"Because I owe my life to you," replied the warrior, "and because I know a man when I see one. If a man can pick Phobeg up and toss him around as though he were a baby, Phobeg is willing to be his slave."
"I can only thank you for what you have told me, Phobeg," said Tarzan. "Now tell me more. If Doria is brought to the temple where will she be imprisoned?"
"That is hard to say. Alextar is kept in rooms beneath the floor of the temple, but there are rooms upon the second and third floors where a prisoner might be safely confined, especially a woman."
"Could you get word to me if she is arrested?"
"I could try," replied Phobeg.
"Good! Is there anything further?"
"No."
