The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Research Magnificent by H. G. Wells: him and this affair of Prothero's reflecting its light, and he was
quite prepared for the most sympathetic and liberal behaviour when
he came back to Moscow to make the lady's acquaintance. He intended
to help Prothero to marry and take her back to Cambridge, and to
assist by every possible means in destroying and forgetting the
official yellow ticket that defined her status in Moscow. But he
reckoned without either Prothero or the young lady in this
expectation.
It only got to him slowly through his political preoccupations that
there were obscure obstacles to this manifest course. Prothero
hesitated; the lady expressed doubts.
