The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from When the World Shook by H. Rider Haggard: Yva knelt before the statue for a little while, bowing her head
in prayer, and really I felt inclined to follow her example,
though in the end I compromised, as did Bickley, by taking off my
hat, which, like the others, I still wore from force of habit,
though in this place none were needed. Only Bastin remained
covered.
"Behold the god of my people," said Yva. "Have you no reverence
for it, O Bastin?"
"Not much," he answered, "except as a work of art. You see I
worship Fate's Master. I might add that your god doesn't seem to
have done much for you, Lady Yva, as out of all your greatness
