The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Outlaw of Torn by Edgar Rice Burroughs: barbican that it might be she who answered their hail
rather than one of the men-at-arms on watch there.
She had scarcely reached the ramparts of the outer

In reply to their hail Joan de Tany asked their mis-
sion.
"We seek the outlaw, Norman of Torn, who hides
now within this castle," replied the officer.
"There be no outlaw here," replied the girl, "but, if
you wish, you may enter with half a dozen men and
search the castle."
