The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Case of the Golden Bullet by Grace Isabel Colbron and Augusta Groner: Furthermore, in the little drawer of the bedside table in the
murdered man's room, there had been found a tortoise-shell hairpin;
and in the corner of the vestibule of his house, a little
mother-of-pearl glove button, of the kind much in fashion that
winter, because of a desire on the part of the ladies of the town
to help the home industry of the neighbourhood. Mrs. Marie Kniepp
was one of the fashionable women of the town, and several days
before the Professor was murdered, this woman had thrown herself
from the second-story window of her home, and her husband, whose
passionate eccentric nature was well known, had been a changed
man from that hour.
