The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Michael Strogoff by Jules Verne: "It is possible, Nadia," replied Michael; "and I hope
she may have reached Tobolsk. Marfa hates the Tartars.
She knows the steppe, and would have no fear in just tak-
ing her staff and going down the banks of the Irtych.
There is not a spot in all the province unknown to her.
Many times has she traveled all over the country with my
father; and many times I myself, when a mere child, have
accompanied them across the Siberian desert. Yes, Nadia,
I trust that my mother has left Omsk."
"And when shall you see her?"
"I shall see her -- on my return."
