The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Confidence by Henry James: "Well, perhaps you will think me very fanciful," said Mrs. Vivian;
"but it was by the way he looked at Angela. He has such an
expressive face."
"He looked at me very kindly, mamma," Angela observed.
"He regularly stared, my daughter. In any one else I should
have said it was rude. But his situation is so peculiar;
and one could see that he admired you still." And Mrs. Vivian
gave a little soft sigh.
"Ah! she is thinking of the thirty thousand a year," Bernard said to himself.
"I am sure I hope he admires me still," the girl cried, laughing.
"There is no great harm in that."
