The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Ten Years Later by Alexandre Dumas: and at break of day leap into my saddle. Has my horse had an
extra feed?"
"Eh! my dear master," replied Planchet, "you know very well
that your horse is the jewel of the family; that my lads are
caressing it all day, and cramming it with sugar, nuts, and
biscuits. You ask me if he has had an extra feed of oats;
you should ask if he has not had enough to burst him."
"Very well, Planchet, that is all right. Now, then, I pass
to what concerns me -- my supper?"
"Ready. A smoking roast joint, white wine, crayfish and
fresh-gathered cherries. All ready, my master."
