The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Heart of the West by O. Henry: "He gazed across the table at me. There was four square yards of it,

"'Luke,' says he, 'I'm pretty hungry after our ride. I thought you
said they had some beans here. I'm going out and get something I can
eat. You can stay and monkey with this artificial layout of grub if
you want to.'
"'Wait a minute,' says I.
"I called the waiter, and slapped 'S. Mills' on the back of the check
for thirteen dollars and fifty cents.
