The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Tom Sawyer, Detective by Mark Twain: at that."

so our lawyer took the witness and done the best he could,
and it was plenty poor enough.
Then Jack Withers he come on the stand and told
the same tale, just like Bill done.

very mournful, and most crying; and there was a rustle
and a stir all around, and everybody got ready to listen,
and lost of the women folks said, "Poor cretur, poor cretur,"
and you could see a many of them wip-ing their eyes.
