The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Brother of Daphne by Dornford Yates: in the end he decided for the moment, at any rate, to say nothing

"By the way," said Margery suddenly, "there was a man here when I
came. I suppose it was all right."
George started. "You mean him?" he said, pointing to my
portrait.
"That?" cried Margery. "The man you're painting? Oh, no. It
wasn't him. At least," she added, leaning forward and looking
carefully at the picture, "I don't think so."
