The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Resurrection by Leo Tolstoy: "You should keep to the law."
A tournament of words was apparently going on without those who
took part in it knowing exactly what it was all about; but it was
noticeable that there was bitterness on one side, restricted by
fear, and on the other a consciousness of importance and power.
It was very trying to Nekhludoff to listen to all this, so he
returned to the question. of arranging the amount and the terms
of the rent.
"Well, then, how about the land? Do you wish to take it, and what
price will you pay if I let you have the whole of it?"
"The property is yours: it is for you to fix the price."
