The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Master of the World by Jules Verne: "Had we better stop here?" I asked Wells, as our rig drew up to the
edge of the woods.
"No, Mr. Strock," said he. "We had better leave the carriage deeper
in the woods, where there will be no chance whatever of our being
seen."
"Can the carriage drive under these trees?"
"It can," declared Wells. "I have already explored these woods
thoroughly. Five or six hundred feet from here, there is a little
clearing, where we will be completely hidden, and where our horses
may find pasture. Then, as soon as it is dark, we will go down to the
beach, at the edge of the rocks which shut in the mouth of the creek.
