The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Letters of Robert Louis Stevenson by Robert Louis Stevenson: MY DEAR HENLEY, - Of course I am a rogue. Why, Lord, it's known,
man; but you should remember I have had a horrid cold. Now, I'm
better, I think; and see here - nobody, not you, nor Lang, nor the
devil, will hurry me with our crawlers. They are coming. Four of
them are as good as done, and the rest will come when ripe; but I
am now on another lay for the moment, purely owing to Lloyd, this
one; but I believe there's more coin in it than in any amount of
crawlers: now, see here, 'The Sea Cook, or Treasure Island: A
Story for Boys.'
If this don't fetch the kids, why, they have gone rotten since my
day. Will you be surprised to learn that it is about Buccaneers,
