The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy: "The men understand that, citoyen, and also that, as soon as a

"I have further news for you, citoyen."
"What is it?"
"A tall Englishman had a long conversation about

not ten paces from here."
"Yes--and?" queried Chauvelin, impatiently.
