The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Breaking Point by Mary Roberts Rinehart: after dinner Dick took her into his laboratory, and while she
squinted one eye and looked into the finder of his microscope he
kissed the white nape of her neck.
When they left the laboratory there were patients in the
waiting-room, but he held her in his arms in the office for a
moment or two, very quietly, and because the door was thin they made
a sort of game of it, and pretended she was a patient.
"How did you sleep last night?" he said, in a highly professional
and very distinct voice. Then he kissed her.
"Very badly, doctor," she said, also very clearly, and whispered,
"I lay awake and thought about you, dear."
