The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Case of The Lamp That Went Out by Grace Isabel Colbron and Augusta Groner: There was but one cab at the stand. Muller walked to it and laid
his hand on the door.
"Oh, Jimmy! must I go out again?" asked the driver hoarsely.
"Can't you see the poor beast is all wet from the last ride? We've
just come in." He pointed with his whip to the tired-looking animal
under his blanket.
"Why, he does look warm. You must have been making a tour out into
the country," said the blond gentleman in a friendly tone.
"No, sir, not quite so far as that. I've just taken a woman to the
main telegraph office in the city and back again. But she was in a
hurry and he's not a young horse, sir."
