The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Turn of the Screw by Henry James: he prolonged into incoherent, extravagant song.
I went straight to my room, but his sister was not there;
then, before going downstairs, I looked into several others.
As she was nowhere about she would surely be with Mrs. Grose, whom,
in the comfort of that theory, I accordingly proceeded in quest of.
I found her where I had found her the evening before,
but she met my quick challenge with blank, scared ignorance.
She had only supposed that, after the repast, I had carried
off both the children; as to which she was quite in her right,
for it was the very first time I had allowed the little
girl out of my sight without some special provision.
