The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Dunwich Horror by H. P. Lovecraft: the outside world's attention to themselves.
About 1923, when
Wilbur was a boy of ten whose mind, voice, stature, and bearded
face gave all the impressions of maturity, a second great siege
of carpentry went on at the old house. It was all inside the sealed
upper part, and from bits of discarded lumber people concluded
that the youth and his grandfather had knocked out all the partitions
and even removed the attic floor, leaving only one vast open void
between the ground storey and the peaked roof. They had torn down
the great central chimney, too, and fitted the rusty range with
a flimsy outside tin stove-pipe.
