The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Men of Iron by Howard Pyle: It was this bold, outspoken spirit that gained him at once
friends and enemies at Devlen, and though it first showed itself
in what was but a little matter, nevertheless it set a mark upon
him that singled him out from the rest, and, although he did not
suspect it at the time, called to him the attention of Sir James
Lee himself, who regarded him as a lad of free and frank spirit.
The first morning after the roll-call in the armory, as Walter
Blunt, the head bachelor, rolled up the slip of parchment, and
the temporary silence burst forth into redoubled noise and
confusion, each lad arming himself from a row of racks that stood
along the wall, he beckoned Myles to him.
