The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from An International Episode by Henry James: "What am I in for?" demanded Lord Lambeth.
"I will let your mother give it a name. With all respect to whom,"
added Percy Beaumont, "I must decline on this occasion to do any
more police duty. Her Grace must look after you herself."
"I will give her a chance," said her Grace's son, a trifle grimly.
"I shall make her go and see them."
"She won't do it, my boy."
"We'll see if she doesn't," said Lord Lambeth.
But if Percy Beaumont took a somber view of the arrival
of the two ladies at Jones's Hotel, he was sufficiently
a man of the world to offer them a smiling countenance.
