"Because, no matter how good a line we put forward, the Army may put forward a better." "Now, don't go tooting the Army's bugle!" "I am just considering the average of chances," Darrin returned.
Burroughs into the primeval forest where Glen's dim ancestors, to the tooting of automobile horns, were fixing into the heredity of the breed the particular instinct that would enable Glen, a few thousand years later, capably to cope with automobiles.
