The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Michael Strogoff by Jules Verne: recognizing her traveling companion. She instinctively
rose and, like a drowning man who clutches at a spar, she
was about to ask his help.
At that moment the agent touched Michael on the
shoulder, "The head of police will see you," he said.
"Good," returned Michael. And without saying a word
to her for whom he had been searching all day, without
reassuring her by even a gesture, which might compromise
either her or himself, he followed the man.
The young Livonian, seeing the only being to whom she
could look for help disappear, fell back again on her bench.
