The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Kenilworth by Walter Scott: embarking to go up the river, his heart beating high with

being taken of the reception he had met with at court, until they
had landed, and the household were assembled in the great hall at
Sayes Court; while that lord, exhausted by his late illness and
the fatigues of the day, had retired to his chamber, demanding
the attendance of Wayland, his successful physician. Wayland,
however, was nowhere to be found; and while some of the party
were, with military impatience, seeking him and cursing his
absence, the rest flocked around Raleigh to congratulate him on
Kenilworth |
