The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Monster Men by Edgar Rice Burroughs: time shall prove my worthiness I shall not ask for

professor, for we are both actuated by the same desire--
the welfare and happiness of your daughter."

The expression of doubt and worry had left his face.
"I cannot believe," he said, "that you are other than
a gentleman, and if, in my desire to protect Virginia,
I have said aught to wound you I ask your forgiveness."
