The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Return of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs: to humiliate Nikolas Rokoff. The first offense was overlooked
on the assumption that monsieur acted through ignorance,
but this affair shall not be overlooked. If monsieur
does not know who Nikolas Rokoff is, this last piece of
effrontery will insure that monsieur later has good reason
to remember him."
"That you are a coward and a scoundrel, monsieur," replied
Tarzan, "is all that I care to know of you," and he
turned to ask the girl if the man had hurt her, but she had
disappeared. Then, without even a glance toward Rokoff and
his companion, he continued his stroll along the deck.
