The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Dynamiter by Robert Louis Stevenson and Fanny Van De Grift Stevenson: Irish packet, a sure hand awaits the box: the problem still
unsolved, is to find some one to carry it as far as Holyhead,
to see it placed on board the steamer, and instantly return
to town. Will you be he? Will you leave to-morrow by the
first train, punctually obey orders, bear still in mind that
you are surrounded by Cuban spies; and without so much as a
look behind you, or a single movement to betray your
interest, leave the box where you have put it and come
straight on shore? Will you do this, and so save your
friend?'
'I do not clearly understand . . .' began Harry.
