The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Wife, et al by Anton Chekhov: hear them playing on the piano, trying their voices and laughing;
in the dining-room Yegor is laying th e table, with the clatter
of crockery.
"Good-bye," said Katya. "I won't go in and see your people today.
They must excuse me. I haven't time. Come and see me."
While I am seeing her to the door, she looks me up and down
grimly, and says with vexation:
"You are getting thinner and thinner! Why don't you consult a
doctor? I'll call at Sergey Fyodorovitch's and ask him to have a
look at you."
"There's no need, Katya."
