The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Camille by Alexandre Dumas: "And for whom else should I bury myself here, if not for you?"
"Well, then, Marguerite, let me take it myself."
"You are mad; not only is it unnecessary, but it would be
dangerous. You know perfectly well that I have no right to accept
it save from one man. Let me alone, big baby, and say nothing."
"That means," said Prudence, "that when I have two days free I
will come and spend them with you."
We left the house, and started on our return to Paris, talking
over the new plan. I held Marguerite in my arms, and as I got
down from the carriage, I had already begun to look upon her
arrangement with less critical eyes.
