The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Father Goriot by Honore de Balzac: her; be a father to her! Her sister is very unhappy. And there

man moaned, and by his cries, "go for M. Bianchon, and send a cab
here for me.--I am going to fetch them, dear father; I will bring
them back to you."
"Make them come! Compel them to come! Call out the Guard, the
military, anything and everything, but make them come!" He looked
at Eugene, and a last gleam of intelligence shone in his eyes.
