The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Great God Pan by Arthur Machen: "And what has become of his wife?"
"Ah, that's what I should like to know, and I mean to
find her sooner or later. I know a man named Clarke, a dry
fellow, in fact a man of business, but shrewd enough. You
understand my meaning; not shrewd in the mere business sense of
the word, but a man who really knows something about men and
life. Well, I laid the case before him, and he was evidently
impressed. He said it needed consideration, and asked me to
come again in the course of a week. A few days later I received
this extraordinary letter."
