The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Tales of the Klondyke by Jack London: The three men drew apart and conferred. When they returned,
Sigmund acted as spokesman. "We'll whack up fair with you,
Hitchcock. In everything you'll get your quarter-share, neither
more nor less; and you can take it or leave it. But we want the
dogs as bad as you do, so you get four, and that's all. If you
don't want to take your share of the outfit and gear, why, that's
your lookout. If you want it, you can have it; if you don't,
leave it."
"The letter of the law," Hitchcock sneered. "But go ahead. I'm
willing. And hurry up. I can't get out of this camp and away
from its vermin any too quick."
