By reading the passage we can figure out that the word "betwixt" means something similar to "between". We can infer this because the author tells us that he was on a passage, in a passage you can move only forward or backward. The author began to "crept aft", meaning he moved to the back of the boat, so he moved trough the passage. Then he says "till there warn't but one stateroom betwixt me and the cross-hall of the texas." Here we can see that he wants to go somewhere, or that there is an end to the passage, the end is "the cross-hall". So the narrator is in Place A., the "cross-hall" place C., and in between them is "one stateroom".

Imagine yourself living in colonial America and reading Paine’s opening line: “These are the times that try men’s souls.” Write
Vladimir79 [104]

''These are the times that try men's souls'' is a very powerful phrase. If I was living in colonial America and read it or heard it, it was definitely going to prompt some reaction and feeling in me. The living conditions were not the best. Lot of people lived in poverty. The safety was not guaranteed, and avoiding problems was a big positive. There were divisions among the colonies themselves, resulting in tensions and conflict of interests. Such conditions, and hearing or reading to this phrase, would provide motivation for me personally, as it is the hard times when a person shows true character and what that person is made of. It will make me push even harder in order to have better life, and provide better life for my family, and give my best to overcome all obstacles, proving to myself and my loved ones that they can have it better and that they deserve better, but it can only be achieved through strong will, sacrifice, and work.
