The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Confidence by Henry James: She was musing, with her eyes on the fire, and for a moment
she made no answer; then, as if her attention were returning--
"Are you still talking about your remorse?" she asked.
"You see I put it very strongly."
"That I was a horrid creature?"
"That you were not a woman to marry."
"Ah, my poor Bernard," said Angela, "I can't attempt to prove to you
that you are not inconsistent!"
The month of September drew to a close, and she consented to fix a day
for their wedding. The last of October was the moment selected,
and the selection was almost all that was wanting to Bernard's happiness.
