The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from McTeague by Frank Norris: mouth was full of pudding. It made him warm to eat, and
little beads of perspiration stood across the bridge of his
nose. He looked forward to an afternoon passed in his

put ten cents into his pitcher and had left it at Frenna's
to be filled.
"What do you say we take a walk, huh?" said Marcus. "Ah,
that's the thing--a walk, a long walk, by damn! It'll be
outa sight. I got to take three or four of the dogs out for
exercise, anyhow. Old Grannis thinks they need ut. We'll
walk out to the Presidio."
