The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Underground City by Jules Verne: within their dwellings--why did a mysterious form always emerge
from the gloomier recesses of New Aberfoyle, and silently glide

Simon's cottage, yet so carefully as hitherto to avoid notice?
Why, bending towards the windows, did he strive to catch,
by listening, some fragment of the conversation within
