The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Lady Chatterley's Lover by D. H. Lawrence: one prostituted oneself to her, which was good.
Clifford, of course, had still many childish taboos and fetishes. He
wanted to be thought 'really good', which was all cock-a-hoopy
nonsense. What was really good was what actually caught on. It was no
good being really good and getting left with it. It seemed as if most
of the 'really good' men just missed the bus. After all you only lived
one life, and if you missed the bus, you were just left on the
pavement, along with the rest of the failures.
Connie was contemplating a winter in London with Clifford, next winter.
He and she had caught the bus all right, so they might as well ride on
top for a bit, and show it.
