The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy: to see.
It is the popular day, the shilling day, and of the fast
arriving excursion trains two from different directions enter
the two contiguous railway stations at almost the same minute.
One, like several which have preceded it, comes from London:
the other by a cross-line from Aldbrickham; and from the London
train alights a couple; a short, rather bloated man, with a
globular stomach and small legs, resembling a top on two pegs,
accompanied by a woman of rather fine figure and rather red face,
dressed in black material, and covered with beads from bonnet
to skirt, that made her glisten as if clad in chain-mail.
