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: before their young lord and kissed his hand. From the
Great Court beyond a little, grim, gray, old man had

"'Tis to transcend even my dearest dreams," he
muttered. "'S death, but he be more a king than Henry
himself. God speed the day of his coronation, when,
before the very eyes of the Plantagenet hound, a black
cap shall be placed upon his head for a crown; beneath
his feet the platform of a wooden gibbet for a throne."
