The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Men of Iron by Howard Pyle: Myles made no answer. He flung down his sheepskin and sat him
gloomily down upon the side of the cot.
"I said that I would sooner die than fetch water for them," said
he.
"Aye, aye," said Gascoyne; "but that was spoken in haste."
Myles said nothing, but shook his head.
But, after all, circumstances shape themselves. The next morning
when he rose up through the dark waters of sleep it was to feel
some one shaking him violently by the shoulder.
"Come!" cried Gascoyne, as Myles opened his eyes--"come, time
passeth, and we are late."
