The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Montezuma's Daughter by H. Rider Haggard: wide street crowded with hundreds of women and children who threw
flowers on us as we passed, and cried, 'Welcome, princess!

reached the great square, it seemed as though all the men in
Anahuac were gathered there, and they too took up the cry of
'Welcome, Otomie, princess of the Otomie!' till the earth shook
with the sound. Me also they saluted as I passed, by touching the
earth with their right hands and then holding the hand above the
head, but I think that the horse I rode caused them more wonder
than I did, for the most of them had never seen a horse and looked
on it as a monster or a demon. So we went on through the shouting
Montezuma's Daughter |
