The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Lord Arthur Savile's Crime, etc. by Oscar Wilde: trees fly through the air, and the red leaves dancing madly down
the long avenue. His head was leaning on his hand, and his whole
attitude was one of extreme depression. Indeed, so forlorn, and so
much out of repair did he look, that little Virginia, whose first
idea had been to run away and lock herself in her room, was filled
with pity, and determined to try and comfort him. So light was her
footfall, and so deep his melancholy, that he was not aware of her
presence till she spoke to him.
'I am so sorry for you,' she said, 'but my brothers are going back
to Eton to-morrow, and then, if you behave yourself, no one will
annoy you.'
