The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Man in Lower Ten by Mary Roberts Rinehart: constantly going back to Alison West. I dropped into a doze, to
dream of touching her fingers again to comfort her, and awoke to
find I had patted a teaspoonful of medicine out of Mrs. Klopton's
indignant hand. What was it McKnight had said about making an
egregious ass of myself?
And that brought me back to Richey, and I fancy I groaned. There is
no use expatiating on the friendship between two men who have gone
together through college, have quarreled and made it up, fussed
together over politics and debated creeds for years: men don't need
to be told, and women can not understand. Nevertheless, I groaned.
If it had been any one but Rich!
