The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Riverman by Stewart Edward White: But even this time-honoured and generally effective taunt was
ignored.
In the middle of the third block Orde wheeled sharp to the left down
a dark and dangerous-looking alley. Another turn to the right
brought him into a very narrow street. Facing this street stood a
three-story wooden structure, into which led a high-arched entrance
up a broad half-flight of wooden steps. This was McNeill's.
As Orde and his men turned into the narrow street, a figure detached
itself from the shadow and approached. Orde uttered an exclamation.
"You here, Newmark?" he cried.
"Yes," replied that young man. "I want to see this through."
