The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain: He caught himself nodding, now, and smiled one of
those pathetic, obsolete smiles of his, and said:
"I find I can't go on; but come with me, I've got
it all written out, and you can read it if you like."
In his chamber, he said: "First, I kept a journal;
then by and by, after years, I took the journal and
turned it into a book. How long ago that was!"
He handed me his manuscript, and pointed out the
place where I should begin:
"Begin here -- I've already told you what goes be-
fore." He was steeped in drowsiness by this time.
