The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Virginian by Owen Wister: had paid her. He had told her that he was coming for his hour
soon. From that hour she had decided to escape. She was running
away from her own heart. She did not dare to trust herself face
to face again with her potent, indomitable lover. She longed for
him, and therefore she would never see him again. No great-aunt
at Dunbarton, or anybody else that knew her and her family,
should ever say that she had married below her station, had been
an unworthy Stark! Accordingly, she had written to the Virginian,
bidding him good-by, and wishing him everything in the world. As
she happened to be aware that she was taking everything in the
world away from him, this letter was not the most easy of letters
