The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from One Basket by Edna Ferber: at the leash. He took his sisters out, dutifully, but he would
suggest, with a carelessness that deceived no one, "Don't you

only knew he was miserable, and yet happy. Sometimes his heart
seemed to ache with an actual physical ache. He realized that he
wanted to do things for Emily. He wanted to buy things for
Emily--useless, pretty, expensive things that he couldn't afford.
He wanted to buy everything that Emily needed, and everything
