The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Marie by H. Rider Haggard: "It doesn't do to kill one's love and live on oneself," I answered
hoarsely. "We have got to go together," and I cocked both barrels of
the pistol.
The Hottentot, Hans, who was in the place with us, saw and understood.
"It is right, it is best!" he said; and turning, he hid his eyes with
his hand.
"Wait a little, Allan," she exclaimed; "it will be time when the door is
down, and perhaps God may still help us."
"He may," I answered doubtfully; "but I would not count on it. Nothing
can save us now unless the others come to rescue us, and that's too much
to hope for."
