The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Contrast by Royall Tyler: Jonathan, Colonel Manly's waiter, to you. I am ex-
tremely happy that I have it in my power to make
two worthy people acquainted with each other's merits.
JENNY
So, Mr. Jonathan, I hear you were at the play last
night.
JONATHAN
At the play! why, did you think I went to the
devil's drawing-room?
JENNY
The devil's drawing-room!
