When they were fourteen years old, Dick and Doc were attending an
excellent English school, where there were a great many future
dukes and earls and arch-bishops and lord mayors, who, when they
saw how much Dick and Doc resembled one another, called them The
Twins. Later, when they learned that Dick's father was distantly
related to Lord Greystoke, who is famous all over the world as
Tarzan of the Apes, the boys commenced to call Dick and Doc The
Tarzan Twins - so that is how the nickname grew and became attached
to them. As everyone knows tar means white in the language of the
great apes, and go means black, so Doc, with his light hair, was
known as Tarzan-tar and Dick, whose hair was black, was called
Tarzan-go. It was all right to be called Tarzan-tar and Tarzan-go,
until the other boys began to make fun of them because they could
climb trees no better than many another boy and, while they were
fair in athletic sports, they did not excel. It was right there and
then that Dick and Doc decided that they would live up to their new
names, for they did not enjoy being laughed at and made fun of, any
more than any other normal, red-blooded boy does.
