The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Chance by Joseph Conrad: yet. It had been too sudden.
"Mr. Powell, slipping the Articles into a long envelope, spoke up

"And the skipper chimes in very kindly:
"He'll do well enough I dare say. I'll look after him a bit."
"Upon this he grabs the Articles, says something about trying to run
in for a minute to see that poor devil in the hospital, and off he
goes with his heavy swinging step after telling me sternly: "Don't
you go like that poor fellow and get yourself run over by a cart as
if you hadn't either eyes or ears."
