The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Twenty Years After by Alexandre Dumas: confidence he ever had in the wisdom of his friend. They
walked from one end of the chateau to the other, Porthos
looking with wondering eyes at D'Artagnan, who was counting
on his fingers.
"Four hundred, at a pistole each, four hundred pistoles."
"Yes," interposed Porthos, "four hundred pistoles; but who
is to make four hundred pistoles?"
"A pistole is not enough," said D'Artagnan, "'tis worth a
louis."
"What is worth a louis?"
"Four hundred, at a louis each, make four hundred louis."
