The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Pupil by Henry James: follow him into some modest retreat. They depended on him - that
was the fact - to take their delightful child temporarily under his
protection; it would leave Mr. Moreen and herself so much more free
to give the proper attention (too little, alas! had been given) to
the readjustment of their affairs.
"We trust you - we feel we CAN," said Mrs. Moreen, slowly rubbing
her plump white hands and looking with compunction hard at Morgan,
whose chin, not to take liberties, her husband stroked with a
paternal forefinger.
"Oh yes - we feel that we CAN. We trust Mr. Pemberton fully,
Morgan," Mr. Moreen pursued.
