The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Wife, et al by Anton Chekhov: things, and, going out into the street, probably ponders for some
time longer; unable to think of anything, except "old devil,"
inwardly addressed to me, he goes into a wretched restaurant to
dine and drink beer, and then home to bed. "Peace be to thy
ashes, honest toiler."
A third ring at the bell. A young doctor, in a pair of new black
trousers, gold spectacles, and of course a white tie, walks in.
He introduces himself. I beg him to be seated, and ask what I can
do for him. Not without emotion, the young devotee of science
begins telling me that he has passed his examination as a doctor
of medicine, and that he has now only to write his dissertation.
