The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Michael Strogoff by Jules Verne: Michael Strogoff expected some trouble in finding a
hotel, or even an inn, to suit him. As he had not to start
immediately, for he was going to take a steamer, he was
compelled to look out for some lodging; but, before doing
so, he wished to know exactly the hour at which the steam-
boat would start. He went to the office of the company
whose boats plied between Nijni-Novgorod and Perm.
There, to his great annoyance, he found that no boat started
for Perm till the following day at twelve o'clock. Seven-
teen hours to wait! It was very vexatious to a man so
pressed for time. However, he never senselessly murmured.
