The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Lady Chatterley's Lover by D. H. Lawrence: had rather expected it, and he played up without knowing. So
susceptible we are to what is expected of us! The colliers had been so
like children, talking to her, and telling her what hurt them, while
she bandaged them, or nursed them. They had always made her feel so
grand, almost super-human in her administrations. Now Clifford made her
feel small, and like a servant, and she accepted it without a word,
adjusting herself to the upper classes.
She came very mute, with her long, handsome face, and downcast eyes, to
administer to him. And she said very humbly: 'Shall I do this now, Sir
Clifford? Shall I do that?'
'No, leave it for a time. I'll have it done later.'
