The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Alexander's Bridge by Willa Cather: Horton met her. She heard it in Boston yesterday
--heard the newsboys crying it in the street.

through the crowd with a tray and a tin
coffee-pot from the camp kitchen. When he
reached the carriage he found Mrs. Alexander

leaning forward a little, with her hand on the
lowered window, looking at the river. Hour

the lonely, useless stone towers, and the
Alexander's Bridge |
