The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Dracula by Bram Stoker: of it were hard like drawn wires. The thick eyebrows that met
over the nose now seemed like a heaving bar of whitehot metal.
With a fierce sweep of his arm, he hurled the woman from him,
and then motioned to the others, as though he were beating them back.
It was the same imperious gesture that I had seen used to the wolves.
In a voice which, though low and almost in a whisper seemed
to cut through the air and then ring in the room he said,
"How dare you touch him, any of you? How dare you cast eyes
on him when I had forbidden it? Back, I tell you all!
This man belongs to me! Beware how you meddle with him,
or you'll have to deal with me."
