The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Europeans by Henry James: A young man was standing before the Baroness, blushing a good deal,
laughing a little, and shifting his weight from one foot to the other--
a slim, mild-faced young man, with neatly-arranged features,
like those of Mr. Wentworth. Two other gentlemen, behind him,
had risen from their seats, and a little apart, near one of the windows,
stood a remarkably pretty young girl. The young girl was knitting
a stocking; but, while her fingers quickly moved, she looked with wide,
brilliant eyes at the Baroness.
"And what is your son's name?" said Eugenia, smiling at the young man.
"My name is Clifford Wentworth, ma'am," he said in a tremulous voice.
"Why did n't you come out to meet me, Mr. Clifford Wentworth?"
