The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Red Seal by Natalie Sumner Lincoln: "I'm going to see Helen. And Barbara," stopping on his way to the
door, "don't be a fool."
Barbara rubbed the tiny mole under the lobe of her ear, a trick she
had when absent-minded or in deep thought. "Helen," she announced,
unaware that she spoke loud, "shall have a physician, but it won't
be - why, Grimes," awakening to the servant's noiseless return. "You
can take the breakfast dishes. Did Miss Helen eat anything?"
"Not very much, miss." Grimes shook a troubled head. "But she done
better than at dinner last night, so she's picking up, and don't you
be worried over her," with emphasis, as he sidled nearer. "Tell me,
miss, is the colonel courtin' Mrs. Brewster?"
