The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy: "I cannot think where she could have been going,"

the bite of the adder; but it is exhaustion which has
overpowered her. My impression is that her walk must
have been exceptionally long."
"I used to tell her not to overwalk herself this weather,"
