Tarzan's Secret Treasure Page #4

---

You gonna punish me, Mother?

No, darling, not now.

But you must never go away again.

- What happened to you?

- Nothing much.

Here's Tumbo. He's my best friend.

Can't talk very well yet, though.

Happy to know you, Tumbo.

- Friends.

- Friend?

I met him just when the rhino

was going to kill him.

What rhino?

Just before we came in the plague.

The plague?

Tarzan, what happened?

Who are these people?

People?

How do you do?

I'm doing better, ma'am,

thanks to your charming presence.

O'Doul good little man, like Cheetah.

Now don't be comparing me with him.

If this hairy heathen resembles anybody...

it's me wife's second brother

Marcus V. O'Connell.

That's the last bottle of Irish whiskey

between here and Dublin.

What are these horrible things

that Boy's been telling me?

Boy have good time. Little Tarzan.

- My name is Medford. Glad to know you.

- How do you do?

Tarzan's just been telling me

how kind and brave you've been.

We'll never be able to repay you,

so welcome to our home.

We should have been at a loss

without Tarzan.

Now I am up here, I can understand why

I never could find it indicated on any map.

We like to think of it

as being above and beyond maps.

Sort of a world of our own.

I'm so curious,

I must risk being impertinent.

How does such a lovely person with

your obvious background and position...

come to be here?

A compliment is never impertinent,

Mr. Medford.

I came here. Tarzan and I met.

I fell in love with my future husband.

So naturally I stayed.

You must be very happy here.

We are.

Why, this is Utopia.

Look at the wealth

of this country, Professor.

Just standing here you can see

rubber, palm oil, gum, copra.

- We have caviar, too.

- Caviar?

Yes. Mother says that's what you call

fish eggs in your country.

I suppose this area's

very rich in mineral deposits?

I don't really know, Mr. Medford.

It's possible, I suppose.

My husband's a mind reader.

What did he say?

He says he's sure you're very hungry

because he is.

- We are hungry, too.

- Shall we go to the house?

Now then, all of you, look this way, please.

This is going to be a masterpiece.

It'll be out of the fixing bath

in no time at all now.

Boy is having the time of his life.

Just think, he's never seen

a photograph before.

There isn't any need for that sort of thing

in this beautiful, private world you have.

I feel almost like an intruder.

But you're not.

You're a most welcome guest.

We hope you'll stay with us a long time.

There's nothing I'd like better

than to spend the rest of my days here...

but I'm afraid we have to push on.

We've a job ahead of us.

After you've been here a little while...
