for other than her. She received them gracefully, calling
each by name, for they were men high in the esteem and
service of her grandfather, and she knew them well.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Soul of the Far East by Percival Lowell: For he lives at home, under the immediate control of the paternal

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Cromwell by William Shakespeare: GOVERNOUR.
Tis but two hundred pound between us, man.
What's that in payment of five thousand pound?

Before I got so much, it made me sweat.
GOVERNOUR.
Well, Master Bagot, I'll profer you fairly.
You see this Merchant, master Banister,
Is going now to prison at your suit.
His substance all is gone; what would you have?
