The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Where There's A Will by Mary Roberts Rinehart: about the time they expected their supper they saw a man
carry a basket stealthily through the snow to the deer park. It
was twilight, but they watched him from the window, and he put
the basket through the barbed-wire fence and then crawled after
it. Just inside he sat down on a log and, opening the basket,
began to eat. He was still there when it got too dark to see
him.
"If that was our dinner," he finished savagely, "I hope he choked
to death over it."
Doctor Barnes chuckled. "He didn't," he said, "but he's got the
worst case of indigestion in seven counties."
