The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Confidence by Henry James: Longueville's little figure was a success--a charming success,
he thought, as he put on the last touches. While he was doing this,
his model's companion came into view. She came out of the church,
pausing a moment as she looked from her daughter to the young man
in the corner of the terrace; then she walked straight over to
the young girl. She was a delicate little gentlewoman, with a light,
quick step.
Longueville's five minutes were up; so, leaving his place,
he approached the two ladies, sketch in hand. The elder one,
who had passed her hand into her daughter's arm, looked up at
him with clear, surprised eyes; she was a charming old woman.
