The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Whirligigs by O. Henry: He had written things, he had tampered with colours, he
was something of a student in certain branches of art,
and once she had been admitted to all his aspirations and
thoughts. But now -- and she could not avoid the con-
clusion -- Teddy had barricaded against her every side
of himself except one -- the side that showed the manager
of the Rancho de las Sombras and a jolly chum who had
forgiven and forgotten. Queerly enough the words of
Mr. Bannister's description of her property came into
her mind -- "all inclosed within a strong barbed-wire
fence."
