The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Mistress Wilding by Rafael Sabatini: desperate fashion when he had determined to hoist Richard and Blake
with their own petard, hoping that, after all, the harm would reach
no further than the destruction of these two - a purely defensive
measure. But now this girl threatened to wreck his scheme just as
it was being safely steered to harbour. Suddenly he swung round,
interrupting her.
"Lies, lies, lies!" he clamoured, and his interruption coming at
such a time served to impress the Duke most unfavourably - as well
it might.
"It is our wish to hear this lady out, Mr. Trenchard," the Duke
reproved him.
