The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Arrow of Gold by Joseph Conrad: "These flights are well known," muttered Mr. Blunt. "You shall see
her all right."
"Yes. They told me that you . . . "
I broke in: "You mean to say that you expect a woman to arrange
that sort of thing for you?"
"A trifle, for her," Mr. Blunt remarked indifferently. "At that
sort of thing women are best. They have less scruples."
"More audacity," interjected Mr. Mills almost in a whisper.
Mr. Blunt kept quiet for a moment, then: "You see," he addressed
me in a most refined tone, "a mere man may suddenly find himself
being kicked down the stairs."
