The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from O Pioneers! by Willa Cather: the memory he left her, she could be as rash as
she chose. Nobody could be the worse for it
but herself; and that, surely, did not matter.
Her own case was clear. When a girl had loved
one man, and then loved another while that man
was still alive, everybody knew what to think of
her. What happened to her was of little con-
sequence, so long as she did not drag other
people down with her. Emil once away, she
could let everything else go and live a new life
of perfect love.
