The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Europeans by Henry James: It moved her greatly, however, to hear Felix say that he was
sure of something; so that, raising her eyes toward him,
she tried intently, for some moments, to conjure up this wonderful
image of a love-affair between her own sister and her own suitor.
We know that Gertrude had an imaginative mind; so that it is not
impossible that this effort should have been partially successful.
But she only murmured, "Ah, Felix! ah, Felix!"
"Why should n't they marry? Try and make them marry!" cried Felix.
"Try and make them?"
"Turn the tables on them. Then they will leave you alone.
I will help you as far as I can."
