The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Camille by Alexandre Dumas: When he returned, I went up to him.
"Promise me, father," I said, "that you will do nothing to give
Marguerite pain?"
My father stopped, looked at me disdainfully, and contented
himself with saying, "I believe you are mad." After this he went
out, shutting the door violently after him.
I went downstairs, took a cab, and returned to Bougival.
Marguerite was waiting for me at the window.
Chapter 21
"At last you have come," she said, throwing her arms round my
neck. "But how pale you are!"
