The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Europeans by Henry James: "My dear cousin," said Felix, "it 's nothing that a young lady may not
listen to. At least I suppose it is n't. But voyons; you shall judge.
I am terribly in love."
"Well, Felix," began Miss Wentworth, gravely. But her very gravity appeared
to check the development of her phrase.
"I am in love with your sister; but in love, Charlotte--in love!"
the young man pursued. Charlotte had laid her work in her lap;
her hands were tightly folded on top of it; she was staring at
the carpet. "In short, I 'm in love, dear lady," said Felix.
"Now I want you to help me."
"To help you?" asked Charlotte, with a tremor.
