The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Michael Strogoff by Jules Verne: -- wearing the uniform of a Tartar officer, dismounted be-
fore the Emir's tent. He was accompanied by a party of
soldiers from the camp at Zabediero, who ranged up at the
sides of the square, in the middle of which a place for the
sports was reserved. A large scar could be distinctly seen
cut obliquely across the traitor's face.
Ogareff presented his principal officers to the Emir, who,
without departing from the coldness which composed the
main part of his dignity, received them in a way which
satisfied them that they stood well in the good graces of their
chief.
