The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from My Antonia by Willa Cather: `When she first came to this country, Frances, and had that genteel old man
to watch over her, she was as pretty a girl as ever I saw. But, dear me,
what a life she's led, out in the fields with those rough threshers!
Things would have been very different with poor Antonia if her
father had lived.'
The Harlings begged us to tell them about Mr. Shimerda's death
and the big snowstorm. By the time we saw grandfather coming
home from church, we had told them pretty much all we knew
of the Shimerdas.
`The girl will be happy here, and she'll forget those things,'
said Mrs. Harling confidently, as we rose to take our leave.
