The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Ten Years Later by Alexandre Dumas: "Well," replied the latter: "what is it? Is the general
going to dismiss me? I only needed to be expelled by him."
These words, spoken in French, made no impression upon the
person to whom they were addressed and who himself only
spoke an English mixed with the rudest Scotch. But Athos was
grieved at them, for he began to think D'Artagnan was not
wrong.
The Englishman showed D'Artagnan a letter: "From the
general," said he.
"Aye! that's it, my dismissal!" replied the Gascon. "Must I
read it, Athos?"
