The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Bucky O'Connor by William MacLeod Raine: conceit of themselves, might come under the spell of their
strong, tolerant virility. Whatever the difference between them,
it might be truly said of both that they had lived at first hand
and come in touch closely with all the elemental realities. One
of them was a romantic villain and the other an unromantic hero,
but her pulsing emotions morally condemned one no more than the
other.
This was the sheer delight of her esthetic sense of fitness, that
strong men engaged in a finish fight could rise to so perfect a
courtesy that an outsider could not have guessed the antagonism
that ran between them, enduring as life.
