The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Oakdale Affair by Edgar Rice Burroughs: the fence and into the machine. As he himself was about
to step in he felt suddenly of his breast pocket.
"What's the matter?" asked one of his companions.
"I've lost my note book," replied Burton; "it must
have dropped out of my pocket when I jumped the
fence. Just wait a minute while I go look for it," and
be returned to the fence, vaulted it and disappeared be-
hind the bushes.
It was fully five minutes before he returned but when
he did there was a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Find it?" asked his principal lieutenant.
