The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Man in Lower Ten by Mary Roberts Rinehart: "Nonsense!" I took his elbow and steered him in what I made out to
be the direction of the steps of the Italian garden. "I saw a deer
just ahead by the last flash; that's what you heard. By Jove, I
hear wheels."
We paused to listen and Hotchkiss put his hand on something close
to us. "Here's your deer," he said.
"Bronze."
As we neared the house the sense of surveillance we had had in the
park gradually left us. Stumbling over flower beds, running afoul
of a sun-dial, groping our way savagely along hedges and thorny banks,
we reached the steps finally and climbed the terrace.
