The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Wyoming by William MacLeod Raine: This time it was the mouth he kissed, the while her unconquered
spirit looked out of the brave eyes, and fain would have murdered
him. In turn he kissed her cold cheeks, the tip of one of her
little ears, the small, clenched fist with which she longed to
strike him.
"Are you quite through?"
"For the present, and now, having put the seal of my ownership on
her more obvious charms, I'll take my bride home."
"I would die first."
"Nay, you'll die later, Madam Bannister, but not for many years,
I hope," he told her, with a theatrical bow.
