The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Case of The Lamp That Went Out by Grace Isabel Colbron and Augusta Groner: a chair, her wide staring eyes looking straight ahead of her, and
trembling so that the old chair cracked underneath her weight. But
this condition did not last long. The woman had herself well under
control. Muller's coming, or something else, perhaps, may have
overwhelmed her for a moment, but she soon regained her usual
self-possession.
"Still you have not told me what you want here," she began coldly,
and as he did not answer she continued: "I have a feeling that you
are watching us. I had this feeling when I saw you the first time
and noticed then - pardon my frankness - that you stared at us
sharply while we were saying goodbye to our master and mistress.
