The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Pool in the Desert by Sara Jeanette Duncan: 'I so bow down before her simplicity. It makes a wide and beautiful
margin for the rest of her character. She is a girl Ruskin would
have loved.'
'I wonder,' said I. 'He did seem fond of the simple type, didn't
he?'
'Her mind is so clear, so transparent. The motive spring of
everything she says and does is so direct. Don't you find you can
most completely depend upon her?'
'Oh yes,' I said; 'certainly. I nearly always know what she is
going to say before she says it, and under given circumstances I can
tell precisely what she will do.'
