The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Mucker by Edgar Rice Burroughs: order, and justice appeared to Billy in a new light since he
had rubbed elbows with the cultured and refined.
He no longer distrusted or feared them. They would give
him what he sought--a square deal.
It seemed odd to Billy that he should be seeking anything
from the law or its minions. For years he had waged a
perpetual battle with both. Now he was coming back voluntarily
to give himself up, with every conviction that he should
be exonerated quickly. Billy, knowing his own innocence,
realizing his own integrity, assumed that others must
immediately appreciate both.
