The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Forged Coupon by Leo Tolstoy: Stepan was the stronger man and overpowered
him. After murdering him, Stepan, excited by
the long fight, stepped into the next room be-
hind a partition. That was Maria Semenovna's
bedroom. She rose in her bed, looked at
Stepan with her mild frightened eyes, and crossed
herself.
Once more her look scared Stepan. He
dropped his eyes.
"Where is your money?" he asked, without
raising his face.
