The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from A Hero of Our Time by M.Y. Lermontov: ladies drove off in different directions. I went to

"Aha!" he said: "so it is you! And yet you

"How was that? Tell me."
"No, guess! -- O, you who guess everything in
the world!"
