The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from An International Episode by Henry James: everyone and everything and had an extraordinary sense of ease;
of drives and rides in the late afternoon over gleaming beaches,
on long sea roads, beneath a sky lighted up by marvelous sunsets;
of suppers, on the return, informal, irregular, agreeable;
of evenings at open windows or on the perpetual verandas,
in the summer starlight, above the warm Atlantic.
The young Englishmen were introduced to everybody,
entertained by everybody, intimate with everybody. At the end
of three days they had removed their luggage from the hotel
and had gone to stay with Mrs. Westgate--a step to which Percy
Beaumont at first offered some conscientious opposition.
