The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Whirligigs by O. Henry: "I'd a good deal rather that sorrel of yourn hadn't
hurt himself, Bob," he said again, almost pathetically.
"Same here," agreed Bob; "he was sure a first-rate
kind of a crowbait. But Bolivar, he'll pull us through
all right. Reckon we'd better be movin' on, hadn't
we, Shark? I'll bag this boodle ag'in and we'll hit the
trail for higher timber."
Bob Tidball replaced the spoil in the bag and tied the
mouth of it tightly with a cord. When he looked up the
most prominent object that he saw was the muzzle of
Shark Dodson's .45 held upon him without a waver.
