The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Mistress Wilding by Rafael Sabatini: "Take your hands from my horse," Dare shouted, very angry.
Several loiterers in the yard gathered round to watch the scene, culling
diversion from it and speculating upon the conclusion it might have.
One rash young fellow offered audibly to lay ten to one that Paymaster
Dare would have the best of the argument.
Dare overheard, and was spurred on.
"I will, by God!" he answered. "Come, Mr. Fletcher!" And he shook the
bridle again.
There was a dull flush showing through the tan of Fletcher's skin. "Mr.
Dare," said he, "this horse is no more yours than mine. It is the
Duke's, and I, as one o' the leaders, claim it in the Duke's service."
