The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Amy Foster by Joseph Conrad: force of the contrast, but when he was passing one
of these villagers here, the soles of his feet did not
seem to me to touch the dust of the road. He
vaulted over the stiles, paced these slopes with a
long elastic stride that made him noticeable at a
great distance, and had lustrous black eyes. He
was so different from the mankind around that,
with his freedom of movement, his soft--a little
startled, glance, his olive complexion and graceful
bearing, his humanity suggested to me the nature
of a woodland creature. He came from there."
