The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Aspern Papers by Henry James: "Santo Dio!" she exclaimed, without heeding my question;
and she hurried upstairs and out of sight. I might count

to hide again, so that for a fortnight I never beheld her.
I found my patience ebbing and after four or five days of this
I told the gardener to stop the flowers.

I found Miss Tita in the sala: it was our first
encounter on that ground since I had come to the house.
