The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Case of The Lamp That Went Out by Grace Isabel Colbron and Augusta Groner: woman's tear-dimmed eyes veiled everything else to her but the path
along which her weary feet hastened. Thorne halted about half way
between the bathing establishment and the customs barracks, looked
around to see if he were alone and threw himself down on the sand.
He had chosen a good place. To the right and to the left were high
sand dunes, before him was the broad surface of the ocean, and at
his back was rising ground, bare sand with here and there a scraggly
bush or a group of high thistles. Herbert Thorne believed himself
to be alone here ... as far as a man can be alone over whom hangs
the shadow of a crime. He groaned aloud and hid his pale face in
his hands.
