that the mobilisation arrangements had been made so hastily and
carelessly that for nearly thirty-six hours at the improvised

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Riverman by Stewart Edward White: busily, until at last Newmark expressed himself as satisfied.

to go out and interview these men and get their contracts for
driving their next winter's cut."
But Orde drew back.
"Look here, Joe," he objected, "that's more in your line. You can
talk business to them better than I can."
"Not a bit," negatived Newmark. "They don't know me from Adam, and

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Passionate Pilgrim by William Shakespeare: My vow was earthly, thou a heavenly love:

Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is:
If broken, then it is no fault of mine.
If by me broke, what fool is not so wise
To break an oath, to win a paradise?
