The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Wrong Box by Stevenson & Osbourne: riverside road to Great Haverham, at the gallop of the carrier's
horse. The lights of the houseboat flashed upon the flying waggon
as it passed; the beat of hoofs and the rattle of the vehicle
gradually coalesced and died away; and presently, to the trio on
the riverside, silence had redescended.
'It's the most extraordinary thing,' cried the slimmer of the two
gentlemen, 'but that's the cart.'
'And I know I saw a piano,' said the girl.
'O, it's the cart, certainly; and the extraordinary thing is,
it's not the man,' added the first.
'It must be the man, Gid, it must be,' said the portly one.
