The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Camille by Alexandre Dumas: these means, he could hold out no longer; he wrote and asked that
he might see her again, as before, no matter on what conditions.
I read these urgent and repeated letters, and tore them in
pieces, without telling Marguerite what they contained and
without advising her to see the old man again, though I was half
inclined to, so much did I pity him, but I was afraid lest, if I
so advised her she should think that I wished the duke, not
merely to come and see her again, but to take over the expenses
of the house; I feared, above all, that she might think me
capable of shirking the responsibilities of every consequence to
which her love for me might lead her.
