The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Virginian by Owen Wister: offspring, there was gathered such a meeting as has seldom been
before among the generations of speaking men. To-day you can hear
legends of it from Texas to Montana; but I am giving you the full
particulars.
Of course they pitched upon poor Lin. Here was the Virginian
doing his best, holding horses and helping ladies descend, while
the name of McLean began to be muttered with threats. Soon a
party led by Mr. Dow set forth in search of him, and the
Southerner debated a moment if he had better not put them on a
wrong track. But he concluded that they might safely go on
searching.
