The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell: well, the Yankee raiders came through. My, my, but that was a hot
time! We didn't have much warning and all of us who could walk
helped haul out the army stores and the hospital equipment to the
train tracks to move it. We'd gotten one train about loaded when
the Yankees rode in one end of town and out we went the other end
as fast as we could go. My, my, that was a mighty sad sight,
sitting on top of that train and seeing the Yankees burn those
supplies we had to leave at the depot. Miss Scarlett, they burned
about a half-mile of stuff we had piled up there along the tracks.
We just did get away ourselves."
"How dreadful!"
