The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Europeans by Henry James: "I confess I never get tired of people I like."
"Ah, you are not a poor wicked foreign woman, with irritable
nerves and a sophisticated mind!"
"Something has happened to you since I went away," said Acton,
changing his place.
"Your going away--that is what has happened to me."
"Do you mean to say that you have missed me?" he asked.
"If I had meant to say it, it would not be worth your making a note of.
I am very dishonest and my compliments are worthless."
Acton was silent for some moments. "You have broken down,"
he said at last.
