Scene cut from Chapter Seven of The Moon Maid:

[...]Presently it did not seem either wrong or unnatural that Nah-ee-lah should eat the flesh of the Va-gas, but as for myself, I could never do it, nor ever did.

[EXCISED TEXT BEGINS HERE]

I reverted again to the matter of her ransom. “If it is not paid,” I asked, “what will become of you?”

“The Va-gas will eat me,” she said simply.

She asked me many questions about my world and its customs, and answered many that I asked her. She was much interested when she learned that our men had but a single wife, for the U-ga, like the Va-gas, have many. She thought that would be very nice, for in Laythe, she said, most of the trouble arose from a man’s women quarreling among themselves.

“And you have but one wife, then?” she asked.

“I have none,” I replied, “I am not married.”

“Why?” she asked.

“I have never fallen in love with any one,” I replied.

“You have no children, then? How terrible!” she said.

“Why?” I asked.

“Why?” she repeated. “Because if you die without leaving children that is the end of you.”

“It is the end of me, anyway, is it not?” I inquired.

“If we leave children, it is not the end of us,” she replied. “We live again in our children’s children, maybe many generations later, but at least we have a chance to live again, unless all our children die childless. It is because of this that the U-ga men have so many wives, for the more children they have, the greater assurance that they will live again. I was to have been married just about the time that the air that runs carried me away from Laythe, but now,” she sighed, “I shall never have children, and so I shall be dead forever. I am sorry, for I like to live, and I was very anxious to keep on living forever.”

Having myself some well-defined convictions upon reincarnation, I was interested in what she said. I questioned her further, asking her what made her believe she would live again in her children if she had any.

“Because I have lived in the past,” she replied. “Is not that sufficient proof that I will live in the future? Do we not, all of us, recall having lived in the past? Therefore, is it not safe for us all to assume that we shall live again?”

“How do you know that you have lived in the past?” I asked.

She looked at me quizzically. “What is my memory given to me for?” she demanded.

“You mean that you can remember past incarnations?” I asked.

“Certainly,” she replied. “Way back in the beginning, ages ago, incarnations far removed are but vague and hazy, and, doubtless, before those are others which I cannot recall at all, but the more recent ones are quite distinct in my memory.”

“Have you always been about what you are now?” I asked.

“I have always been a female,” she replied, “but not always a princess, nor have I always been of Laythe. I have been slave, commoner, princess, and queen in the past. Sometimes my lives have been happy, and sometimes they have not, but there was always happiness in the thought that I should live again, and in the hope for a great number of happy existences in the future.”

We had left the forest, and were returning to the village to our huts when, near the large hut occupied by Ga-va-go, we came suddenly upon Orthis.

SWORDS AGAINST THE MOON MEN
A sequel to Edgar Rice Burroughs’ THE MOON MAID 
by Christopher Paul Carey
Cover art by Chris Peuler and interior illustrations by Mark Wheatley
Hailed by author and science fiction scholar Richard Lupoff as a "masterpiece of science fiction" and a "pioneer work of the modern school of social extrapolation in science fiction," Edgar Rice Burroughs’ classic lunar trilogy—The Moon Maid, The Moon Men, and The Red Hawk—tells the generational tale of humanity’s fight for freedom against alien conquerors from the Moon. The hero, Julian, finds his soul perpetually reincarnated in the bodies of his successive grandsons, fated to confront—down through the centuries —the vicious Kalkars who have subjugated Earth.
The epic saga continues in this by Christopher Paul Carey novel, Swords Against the Moon Men.
