The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Roads of Destiny by O. Henry: "'Mrs. Brown, formerly "Aunt Maggie,"' says I to her, 'I'm going to

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Twilight Land by Howard Pyle: ink, in the handwriting of the old man who had gone:

the light of a single carbuncle set in the centre of the dome
above. In the middle of the marble floor was a great basin twenty
paces broad, and filled to the brim with money such as he had
found in the brazen vessel in the garden.
