The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Monster Men by Edgar Rice Burroughs: Virginia Maxon far into the jungle, and keep her forever
from the sight of men. And why not? Had he not saved her
where others had failed? Was she not, by all that was
just and fair, his?
Did he owe any loyalty to either her father or von Horn?
Already he had saved Professor Maxon's life, so the obligation,
if there was any, lay all against the older man; and three times
he had saved Virginia. He would be very kind and good to her.
She should be much happier and a thousand times safer than
with those others who were so poorly equipped to protect her.
As he stood silently gazing out across the jungle
