The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Malbone: An Oldport Romance by Thomas Wentworth Higginson: late in August, and on the first of September Emilia was to be
married.
Nothing looked cool, that day, but the bay and those who were
going into it. Out came Hope from the bathing-house, in a new
bathing-dress of dark blue, which was evidently what the others
had come forth to behold.
"Hope, what an imposter you are!" cried Kate instantly. "You
declined all my proffers of aid in cutting that dress, and now
see how it fits you! You never looked so beautifully in your
life. There is not such another bathing-dress in Oldport, nor
such a figure to wear it."
