The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Love and Friendship by Jane Austen: not been long in the room before I was engaged to dance by Mr
Bernard, but just as we were going to stand up, he recollected
that his Servant had got his white Gloves, and immediately ran
out to fetch them. In the mean time the Dancing began and Lady
Greville in passing to another room went exactly before me--She
saw me and instantly stopping, said to me though there were
several people close to us,
"Hey day, Miss Maria! What cannot you get a partner? Poor Young
Lady! I am afraid your new Gown was put on for nothing. But do
not despair; perhaps you may get a hop before the Evening is
over." So saying, she passed on without hearing my repeated
Love and Friendship |
