The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Insidious Dr. Fu-Manchu by Sax Rohmer: For it was she!
"So I came in time" I said grimly, and turned the key in the lock.
"Oh!" she panted at that, and stood facing me, leaning back
with her jewel-laden hands clutching the desk edge.
"Give me whatever you have removed from here," I said sternly,
"and then prepare to accompany me."
She took a step forward, her eyes wide with fear, her lips parted.
"I have taken nothing," she said. her breast was heaving tumultuously.
"Oh, let me go! Please, let me go!" And impulsively she threw
herself forward, pressing clasped hands against my shoulder and looking
up into my face with passionate, pleading eyes.
