The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Glasses by Henry James: CHAPTER XI
As soon as I saw Mrs. Meldrum I of course broke out. "Is there

Mrs. Meldrum checked me with her great amused blare. "You've
already seen her and she has told you her wondrous tale? What's
'in it' is what has been in everything she has ever done--the most
comical, tragical belief in herself. She thinks she's doing a
'cure.'"
"And what does her husband think?"
"Her husband? What husband?"
"Hasn't she then married Lord Iffield?"
