The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Virginian by Owen Wister: to talk up the killer to any consumptive he runs across. I ain't

"Woman runs the eating-house."
"Glen. Mrs. Glen."
"Ain't she new?"
"Been settled here about a month. Husband's a freight conductor."
"Thought I'd not seen her before. She's a good-looker."
"Hm! Yes. The kind of good looks I'd sooner see in another man's
wife than mine."
