The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Breaking Point by Mary Roberts Rinehart: You - " he checked himself and got up. "Then I'm to write, and you
are to make out as much of my scrawl as you can and answer. Is
that right?"
"I'll write you all the town gossip."
"If you do - !" he threatened her. "You're to write me what you're
doing, and all about yourself. Remember, I'll be counting on you."
And, if their voices were light, there was in both of them the sense
of a pact made, of a bond that was to hold them, like clasped hands,
against their coming separation. It was rather anti-climacteric
after that to have him acknowledge that he didn't know exactly when
he could get away!
