The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Black Beauty by Anna Sewell: "Ay, James, lad, so it is; but I should not think much of you
if you could leave your home for the first time and not feel it. Cheer up,
you'll make friends there; and if you get on well, as I am sure you will,
it will be a fine thing for your mother, and she will be proud enough
that you have got into such a good place as that."
So John cheered him up, but every one was sorry to lose James;
as for Merrylegs, he pined after him for several days, and went quite off
his appetite. So John took him out several mornings with a leading rein,
when he exercised me, and, trotting and galloping by my side,
got up the little fellow's spirits again, and he was soon all right.
