The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Bucky O'Connor by William MacLeod Raine: point. He stared an instant before he let out a shout of welcome
and fell upon the youth.
"Bucky, by thunder!"
The latter got up nimbly in time to be hospitably thumped and
punched. He was a lithe, slender young fellow, of medium height,
and he carried himself lightly with that manner of sunburned
competency given only by the rough-and-tumble life of the
outdoors West.
While the men reloaded the car he and the sheriff stood apart and
talked in low tones. Collins told what he knew, both what he had
seen and inferred, and Bucky heard him to the end.
