The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Marie by H. Rider Haggard: reach of them. My poor boy, I think you will have a bad time of it
between the stinkcat and the mule, although you have done so much for
both of them. Well, there is one thing--Marie has a true heart. She
will never marry any man except yourself, Allan--even if you are not
here to marry," she added by an afterthought.
The old lady paused a little, staring at the ground. Then she looked up
and said:
"Allan, my dear" (for she was really fond of me, and called me thus at
times), "you didn't take the advice I gave you, namely, to look for
Pereira and not to find him. Well, I will give you some more, which you
_will_ take if you are wise."
