The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Father Goriot by Honore de Balzac: "Go to the authorities, to the Public Prosecutor, let them bring
them here; come they shall!"
"But you have cursed them."
"Who said that!" said the old man in dull amazement. "You know
quite well that I love them, I adore them! I shall be quite well
again if I can see them. . . . Go for them, my good neighbor, my
dear boy, you are kind-hearted; I wish I could repay you for your
kindness, but I have nothing to give you now, save the blessing
of a dying man. Ah! if I could only see Delphine, to tell her to
pay my debt to you. If the other cannot come, bring Delphine to
me at any rate. Tell her that unless she comes, you will not love
