The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Ebb-Tide by Stevenson & Osbourne: The captain let out a rasping oath. 'Come right along here,'
said he.
''S all righ'. Sleep here 'th Atty-Attwa. Go boar' t'morr','
replied the festive one.
'If you don't come, and come now, by the living God, I'll
shoot you!' cried the captain.
It is not to be supposed that the sense of these words in any
way penetrated to the mind of Hulsh; rather that, in a fresh
attempt upon the cigar, he overbalanced himself and came flying
erratically forward: a course which brought him within reach of
Davis.
