The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Lone Star Ranger by Zane Grey: could see men pacing to and fro on the bluff. This assured him
that whatever place was guarded was one by which he might
escape. He headed toward these men and approached to within a
hundred paces of the bluff where they were. There were several
men and several boys, all armed and, after the manner of
Texans, taking their task leisurely. Farther down Duane made
out black dots on the horizon of the bluff-line, and these he
concluded were more guards stationed at another outlet.
Probably all the available men in the district were on duty.
Texans took a grim pleasure in such work. Duane remembered that
upon several occasions he had served such duty himself.
