The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Case of The Lamp That Went Out by Grace Isabel Colbron and Augusta Groner: "A human soul after all, and a soul trembling in the shadow of a
great fear. And even he's a better man than the blackmailer who
was killed. A miscarriage of justice will often make a criminal
of a poor fellow whose worst fault is idleness." Muller's face
darkened as the things of the past, shut down in the depths of his
own soul, rose up again. "No; that's why I took up this work.
Justice must be done - but it's bitter hard sometimes. I could
almost wish now that I hadn't seen that face at the gate."
