The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Lemorne Versus Huell by Elizabeth Drew Stoddard: When we were alone I asked him how her eccentricities affected
him; he could not but consider her violent, prejudiced, warped, and
whimsical. I told him that I had been taught to accept all that she
did on this basis. Would this explain to him my silence in regard
to her?
"Can you endure to live with her in Bond Street for the present,
or would you rather return to Waterbury?"
"She desires my company while she is in Newport only. I have
never been with her so long before."
"I understand her. Law is a game, in her estimation, in which
cheating can as easily be carried on as at cards."
