The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Lone Star Ranger by Zane Grey: rice and cane, home to a stately old mansion, where long-eared
hounds bayed him welcome, and a woman looked for him and met
him with happy and beautiful smile. There might--there would be
children. And something new, strange, confounding with its
emotion, came to life deep in Duane's heart. There would be
children! Ray their mother! The kind of life a lonely outcast
always yearned for and never had! He saw it all, felt it all.
But beyond and above all other claims came Captain MacNelly's.
It was then there was something cold and death-like in Duane's
soul. For he knew, whatever happened, of one thing he was
sure--he would have to kill either Longstreth or Lawson.
