Chapter 27 summary of "Tarzan of the Apes"

In this chapter Edgar Rice Burroughs writes about when a man named Robert Canler came to the Porter's house in America wanting to talk to Jane's father. They talked about him wanting to marry Jane how he didn't know that she was leaving for Wisconsin at the end of the week. Then Jane came in and her father left. Jane said that she would marry him but they have to understand each other because he was going to buy her. Jane and everyone had left for Wisconsin that week and she had not been married yet. When they got their Clayton had changed everything about the little house they were to live in. The next week Canler came to the house saying that he was going to get the marriage license tomorrow and get married tomorrow. There had been a fire going on for the past week and hadn't come close to the little house, but that day the wind had blown it straight for the house. Before it engulfed the house a man came and made everyone leave the area. He asked where Jane was and Esmeralda said she went on a walk where the fire had been coming from. The man ran for Jane towards the fire while everyone left. This man finally found Jane and she knew that it was the ape-man she had known in the African jungle. This man was Tarzan; he told that the man she met in the jungle was himself, which he just learned how to speak after they had left. He wanted to know is she loved him but she said that he would be better off with only knowing each other not being married. They finally made it to the car and they caught up to Jane's father and the others of the group.
