Select the correct text in the passage.
Which detail best shapes Thornton's dedication to and fondness for Buck?
(7) Thornton knelt down by Buck's side. He took his head into his two hands and rested cheek
on cheek. He did not playfully shake him, as he was wont, or murmur soft love curses; but he
whispered in his ear. "As you love me, Buck. As you love me," was what he whispered. Buck
whined with suppressed eagerness.
(8) The crowd was watching curiously. The affair was growing mysterious. It seemed like a
conjuration. As Thornton got to his feet, Buck seized his mittened hand between his jaws,
pressing in with his teeth and releasing slowly, half-reluctantly. It was the answer, in terms, not
of speech, but of love. Thornton stepped well back.
