The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Outlaw of Torn by Edgar Rice Burroughs: fair spoken for so rough a man; she wondered what man-
ner of countenance might lie beneath that barred visor.
Once the outlaw took his cloak from its fastenings
at his saddle's cantel and threw it about the shoulders of
the girl, for the night air was chilly, and again he dis-
mounted and led her palfrey around a bad place in the
road, lest the beast might slip and fall.
She thanked him in her courtly manner for these
services, but beyond that no word passed between them,
and they came, in silence, about midday within sight
of the castle of Simon de Montfort.
