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: The Queen gave a little cry as she saw the still, quiet
face turned up to hers.
"Edward!" she whispered.
"Not Edward, Madame," said De Montfort, "but--"
The King knelt beside the still form, across the breast
of which lay the unconscious body of Bertrade de Mont-
fort. Gently he lifted her to the waiting arms of Philip
of France, and then the King with his own hands tore
off the shirt of mail, and with trembling fingers ripped
wide the tunic where it covered the left breast of the
Devil of Torn.
