The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Damnation of Theron Ware by Harold Frederic: he had defeated, were strangers who appreciated and
admired his effort most. The little minority of his

for Theron to get away by himself next day, and walk in
The Damnation of Theron Ware |
