The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from In a German Pension by Katherine Mansfield: the size of the thing--but if it came to definite action, with no time for

of superiority.
The landlady bounced out of the room, banging the door, so that it shook

"I shall be with you at three o'clock this afternoon--and must be off again
this evening. All news when we meet. I hope you are happier than I.--
CASIMIR."
