The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Albert Savarus by Honore de Balzac: "How?" said Albert.
"You will marry Mademoiselle Sidonie de Chavoncourt."
"Never!"
"You will marry Mademoiselle Sidonie de Chavoncourt," the priest
repeated coldly.
"But you see--she is inexorable," said Albert, pointing to Francesca.
"You will marry Mademoiselle Sidonie de Chavoncourt," said the Abbe
calmly for the third time.
This time Albert understood. The Vicar-General would not be implicated
in a scheme which at last smiled on the despairing politician. A word
more would have compromised the priest's dignity and honor.
