The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Outlaw of Torn by Edgar Rice Burroughs: "By all the saints, Richard, thou be every inch a
King's son, an' though we made sour faces at the time,
we be all the prouder of thee now."
The Queen and the outlaw had turned at the first
words to see the King standing behind them, and now
Norman of Torn rose, half smiling, and greeted his
father.
"They be sorry jokes, Sire," he said. "Methinks it had
been better had Richard remained lost. It will do the
honor of the Plantagenets but little good to acknowl-
edge the Outlaw of Torn as a prince of the blood."
