The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Insidious Dr. Fu-Manchu by Sax Rohmer: the tracks of the man who extracted that venom--patiently, drop by drop--

but in the interests of the entire white race, and I honestly believe--
though I pray I may be wrong--that its survival depends largely upon
the success of my mission."
To say that I was perplexed conveys no idea of the mental chaos
