The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Light of Western Stars by Zane Grey: This period was doubly trying for Madeline. She had her own
physical need of rest, and, moreover, had to face a mental
conflict that could scarcely be postponed further. Her sister
and friends were kindly and earnestly persistent in their
entreaties that she go back East with them. She desired to go.
It was not going that mattered; it was how and when and under
what circumstances she was to return that roused in her
disturbing emotion. Before she went East she wanted to have
fixed in mind her future relation to the ranch and the West.
When the crucial hour arrived she found that the West had not
claimed her yet. These old friends had warmed cold ties.
