The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from 'Twixt Land & Sea by Joseph Conrad: "Kindness, I suppose," Jasper, ironical, shouted with great
deliberation. "We might have been - becalmed in here - for days.
And hospitality. I am invited to stay - on board here."
The answer to this information was a loud ejaculation of distress.
Jasper thought anxiously: "Why, the fellow's nerve's gone to
pieces;" and with an awkward uneasiness of a new sort, looked
intently at the brig. The thought that he was parted from her -
for the first time since they came together - shook the apparently
careless fortitude of his character to its very foundations, which
were deep. All that time neither Heemskirk nor even his inky
shadow had stirred in the least.
