The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from An Inland Voyage by Robert Louis Stevenson: stumble and fall.
Not long after the drums had passed the CAFE, the CIGARETTE and the
ARETHUSA began to grow sleepy, and set out for the hotel, which was
only a door or two away. But although we had been somewhat
indifferent to Landrecies, Landrecies had not been indifferent to
us. All day, we learned, people had been running out between the
squalls to visit our two boats. Hundreds of persons, so said
report, although it fitted ill with our idea of the town - hundreds
of persons had inspected them where they lay in a coal-shed. We
were becoming lions in Landrecies, who had been only pedlars the
night before in Pont.
