The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Dynamiter by Robert Louis Stevenson and Fanny Van De Grift Stevenson: who heard the explosion and saw the Mormon at Victoria,
refuse to credit and assist me, to whom am I to turn?'
'He gave you money then?' asked Challoner, who had been
dwelling singly on that fact.
'I begin to interest you,' she cried. 'But, frankly, you are
condemned to help me. If the service I had to ask of you
were serious, were suspicious, were even unusual, I should
say no more. But what is it? To take a pleasure trip (for
which, if you will suffer me, I propose to pay) and to carry
from one lady to another a sum of money! What can be more
simple?'
