The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Lesson of the Master by Henry James: most beautiful of the collection, and his next discovery was that
it belonged to Miss Fancourt. Its beauty was enhanced by the glad
smile she sent him across surrounding obstructions, a smile that
drew him to her as fast as he could make his way. He had seen for
himself at Summersoft that the last thing her nature contained was
an affectation of indifference; yet even with this circumspection
he took a fresh satisfaction in her not having pretended to await
his arrival with composure. She smiled as radiantly as if she
wished to make him hurry, and as soon as he came within earshot she
broke out in her voice of joy: "He's here - he's here - he's
coming back in a moment!"
