The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas: handkerchief fall from the pocket of Monsieur Aramis. He had his

intimate of Bois-Tracy, that I am not less tenderly his friend
than you can possibly be; so that decidedly this handkerchief is
as likely to have fallen from your pocket as mine."
"No, upon my honor!" cried his Majesty's Guardsman.
