The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Virginian by Owen Wister: with much rotund authority in his eye. "From his answer to my
letter, Judge Henry undoubtedly expects me here. I have arrived
from Fetterman according to my plan which I announced to him, to
find that he has been absent all day--absent the whole day."
The Virginian sat sidewise to talk, one long, straight leg
supporting him on one stirrup, the other bent at ease, the boot
half lifted from its dangling stirrup. He made himself the
perfection of courtesy. "The Judge is frequently absent all
night, seh."
"Scarcely to-night, I think. I thought you might know something
about him."
