Chapter 28 summary of "Tarzan of the Apes"

In the conclusion of "Tarzan of the Apes" Edgar Rice Burroughs writes about when Tarzan and Jane finally caught up with her father and the others of the group. They had gone into a room and soon Canler had come in the room with a man to marry him and Jane. Jane refused to get out her seat so Canler took her arm but before he forced her to get out Tarzan choked Canler. Jane asked Tarzan to release Canler but before he did he made Canler promise he would not marry Jane. He dropped Canler and Canler left the room. Jane's father said that he would now have to pay Canler and that it would take many days to do so but Tarzan had checked the treasure in and put the money in an envelope and threw it to him. Clayton had came back into the room and said that they must leave due to the fire coming to where they were. They drove off to another room and Tarzan asked Jane's father if he knew anything about the bodies they had buried and if all were human. Her father said that the smallest one was an ape. Jane had been by herself and Tarzan noticed her. He asked her if she would marry him but she had already told Clayton she would marry him. She told Tarzan the whole story and Tarzan knew he must let her marry Clayton.  When the others came into the room they gave Tarzan a letter which was from D'Arnot saying that he was a Greystoke. Clayton had come in after Tarzan read the letter and asked him how he had been in the jungle. To let Clayton be able to marry Jane he said his mother was an ape and he never knew his real father.
