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: 'My dear Erskine!' I cried, 'I have come to apologise to you.'
'To apologise to me?' he said. 'What for?'
'For my letter,' I answered.
'You have nothing to regret in your letter,' he said. 'On the
contrary, you have done me the greatest service in your power. You
have shown me that Cyril Graham's theory is perfectly sound.'
'You don't mean to say that you believe in Willie Hughes?' I
exclaimed.
'Why not?' he rejoined. 'You have proved the thing to me. Do you
think I cannot estimate the value of evidence?'
'But there is no evidence at all,' I groaned, sinking into a chair.
