The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Warlord of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs:
The third day of my incarceration brought a dozen warriors to
escort me to the audience chamber, where Salensus Oll himself was
to try me. A great number of nobles crowded the room, and among

throne beside Salensus Oll. The expression of sad hopelessness
upon her dear face cut deep into my heart.
Her position beside the Jeddak of Jeddaks boded ill for her and me,
The Warlord of Mars |
