The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Mad King by Edgar Rice Burroughs: "He don't want to go to the Old Forest," explained his
companion, and for the first time Barney saw one of them
grin. It was not at all a pleasant grin, nor reassuring.
"He don't, eh?" growled the other. "Well, he ain't goin',
is he? Who ever said he was?"
And then he, too, laughed.
"I'm going back the way I came," said Barney, starting
around the horse that blocked his way.
"No, you ain't," said the horseman. "You're goin' with us."
And Barney found himself gazing down the muzzle of one
of the wicked looking pistols.
