The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Tom Sawyer, Detective by Mark Twain: and I struck to kill. In one second I was miserably
sorry--oh, filled with remorse; but I thought of my
poor family, and I MUST hide what I'd done for their sakes;
and I did hide that corpse in the bushes; and presently I
carried it to the tobacker field; and in the deep night I
went with my shovel and buried it where--"
Up jumps Tom and shouts:
"NOW, I've got it!" and waves his hand, oh, ever so fine
and starchy, towards the old man, and says:
"Set down! A murder WAS done, but you never had no hand
in it!"
