The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Dracula by Bram Stoker: has given way. He came close to me and whispered hoarsely,
with his mouth to my ear, as though fearing the very air might hear.
"It is here. I know it now. On the watch last night I
saw It, like a man, tall and thin, and ghastly pale.
It was in the bows, and looking out. I crept behind It, and gave
it my knife, but the knife went through It, empty as the air."
And as he spoke he took the knife and drove it savagely into space.
Then he went on, "But It is here, and I'll find It.
It is in the hold, perhaps in one of those boxes.
I'll unscrew them one by one and see. You work the helm."
And with a warning look and his finger on his lip, he went below.
