The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The American by Henry James: who had taken off her night-cap, was serving the repast.
M. de Grosjoyaux was there, surprisingly fresh for a
gentleman who had been playing sick-nurse half the night,
rubbing his hands and watching the breakfast table attentively.
Newman renewed acquaintance with him, and learned that Valentin was
still sleeping; the surgeon, who had had a fairly tranquil night,
was at present sitting with him. Before M. de Grosjoyaux's
associate reappeared, Newman learned that his name was M. Ledoux,
and that Bellegarde's acquaintance with him dated from
the days when they served together in the Pontifical Zouaves.
M. Ledoux was the nephew of a distinguished Ultramontane bishop.
