The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Mucker by Edgar Rice Burroughs: them, for of the nine one was dead and three wounded, and

Billy Byrne had been lying all night upon his stomach
before a window firing out into the darkness at the dim forms
which occasionally showed against the dull, dead background
of the moonless desert.
Presently he leaped to his feet and crossed the floor to the
room in which the horses had been placed.
"Everybody fire toward the rear of the house as fast as they
can," said Billy. "I want a clear space for my getaway."
"Where you goin?" asked one of the Clark brothers.
