The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Bucky O'Connor by William MacLeod Raine: its bond, that West which will go the limit for a cause once

"All right, seh. If you want me I reckon I'm here large as life,"
the ranger said,
"We'll adjourn to the poker room upstairs then, Mr. O'Connor"
Bucky laid a hand on the shoulder of the boy. "This kid goes with
me. I'm keeping an eye on him for the present."
"My business is private, but I expect that can be arranged. We'll
take the inner room and let him have the outer."
