The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Mad King by Edgar Rice Burroughs: have become in a single day the heroic figure that had
loomed so large upon the battlefield of Lustadt--the simple,
modest gentleman who received the plaudits of his subjects
with bowed head and humble mien.
As Barney Custer rode up Margaretha Street toward the
royal palace of the kings of Lutha, a dust-covered horseman
in the uniform of an officer of the Horse Guards entered
Lustadt from the south. It was the young aide of Prince
von der Tann's staff, who had been sent to Blentz nearly a
week earlier with a message for the king, and who had
been captured and held by the Austrians.
