The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Emma by Jane Austen: The son looked convinced.
"I have heard her speak of the acquaintance," said Emma; "she is
a very elegant young woman."
He agreed to it, but with so quiet a "Yes," as inclined her almost
to doubt his real concurrence; and yet there must be a very distinct
sort of elegance for the fashionable world, if Jane Fairfax could
be thought only ordinarily gifted with it.
"If you were never particularly struck by her manners before,"
said she, "I think you will to-day. You will see her to advantage;
see her and hear her--no, I am afraid you will not hear her at all,
for she has an aunt who never holds her tongue."
