The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie: "But he declared that he saw it bolted!" I cried.

that, far from being in love with her, he positively dislikes
her."
"Who told you that, mon ami?"
