The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Herbert West: Reanimator by H. P. Lovecraft: by the tributes sent by wealthy Arkham citizens and by the municipality
itself. It was almost a public affair, for the dean had surely
been a public benefactor. After the entombment we were all somewhat
depressed, and spent the afternoon at the bar of the Commercial
House; where West, though shaken by the death of his chief opponent,
chilled the rest of us with references to his notorious theories.
Most of the students went home, or to various duties, as the evening
advanced; but West persuaded me to aid him in "making a night
of it." West’s landlady saw us arrive at his room about two in
the morning, with a third man between us; and told her husband
that we had all evidently dined and wined rather well.
