The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Juana by Honore de Balzac: intelligence.
"That boy's character requires care," said Diard.
"Yes," she replied simply.
"How about Juan?"
Madame Diard, struck by the tone in which the words were uttered,
looked at her husband.
"Juan was born perfect," he added.
Then he sat down gloomily, and reflected. Presently, as his wife
continued silent, he added:--
"You love one of YOUR children better than the other."
"You know that," she said.
