The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Deputy of Arcis by Honore de Balzac: "By endeavoring to entice Anicette. She told us of the attempts of
your man Julien to corrupt her. But my little tiger, Paradise, got the
better of him, and he ended by admitting that you wanted to put
Anicette into the service of one of the richest families in Arcis.
Now, as the richest family in Arcis is the Beauvisage family I make no
doubt it is Mademoiselle Cecile who covets this treasure."
"Yes, monsieur."
"Very good; then Anicette shall enter the Beauvisage household at
once."
He whistled. Paradise presented himself so rapidly that his master
said: "You were listening!"
