The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Betty Zane by Zane Grey: gave you my hope, my love, my life, my all. Let it plead for me.
"I expect to return from Ft. Pitt in about six or eight weeks, but I cannot
wait until then for your answer.
"With hope I sign myself,
"Yours until death,
"Alfred."
Betty read the letter through. The page blurred before her eyes; a sensation
of oppression and giddiness made her reach out helplessly with both hands.
Then she slipped forward and fell on the door. For the first time in all her
young life Betty had fainted. Col. Zane found her lying pale and quiet under
the window.
