The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Danny's Own Story by Don Marquis: "You're a MURDERER," she says, saying it like she
was trying to make herself feel sure he really was
one.
"Murder!" says the perfessor. "Did you think
I was going to run any chances for a pup like him?
He's scared, that's all. He's just fainted through
fright. He's a coward. Those pills were both
just bread and sugar. He'll be all right in a minute
or two. I've just been showing you that the fellow
hasn't got nerve enough nor brains enough for
a fine woman like you, Jane," he says.
