The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Man in Lower Ten by Mary Roberts Rinehart: from the doorway.

Cannonball throbbing in the street. Then the quiet settled down
around me again, and there in the lamplight I dreamed dreams. I was

Suddenly the idea of being shut away, even temporarily, from so great
and wonderful a world became intolerable. The possibility of arrest
before I could get to Richmond was hideous, the night without end.
I made my escape the next morning through the stable back of the
house, and then, by devious dark and winding ways, to the office.
