The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Twenty Years After by Alexandre Dumas: "Come," said D'Artagnan, after a conference of five minutes'
duration, "let us begin our journey."
"Where are we to go?" asked Porthos.

communication between it and the capital with great
facility. Come, my lord, you shall be treated like a prince,
as you are."
"A fallen prince!" exclaimed Mazarin, piteously.
