The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Voice of the City by O. Henry: and they take their rest in their favorite caravansary,
while they besiege the managers for engagements for

silk, bequeathing to the dull hallways an odor of
gaiety and a memory of frangipanni. Serious young
comedians, with versatile Adam's apples, gather in
The Voice of the City |
