The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Research Magnificent by H. G. Wells: adventures in discomfort. In those remote parts of Europe inns die
away and cease, and it had never occurred to Amanda that inns could

simple and natural and quaint. And she had thought that when
benighted people knocked at a door it would presently open
hospitably. She had not expected shots at random from the window.
And it is not usual in Albania generally for women, whether they are
Christian or Moslem, to go about unveiled; when they do so it leads
to singular manifestations. The moral sense of the men is shocked
and staggered, and they show it in many homely ways. Small boys at
that age when feminine beauty does not yet prevail with them, pelt.
