The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Man that Corrupted Hadleyburg by Mark Twain: "I am sure I recognised him! Last night it seemed to me that maybe
I had seen him somewhere before."
"He is the man that brought the sack here?"
"I am almost sure of it."
"Then he is the ostensible Stephenson too, and sold every important
citizen in this town with his bogus secret. Now if he has sent
cheques instead of money, we are sold too, after we thought we had
escaped. I was beginning to feel fairly comfortable once more,
after my night's rest, but the look of that envelope makes me sick.
It isn't fat enough; $8,500 in even the largest bank-notes makes
more bulk than that."
