The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Mansion by Henry van Dyke: mother,
"like pieces in a game of chess.
"My dear," said that lady, whose faith in her husband was

He is one of the most respected men in New York. And he is
very generous, too."
"I wish he would be more generous in letting us be ourselves,"
said the young man. "He always has something in view for us
and expects to move us up to it."
