The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Europeans by Henry James: her abode in that small white house adjacent to Mr. Wentworth's
own dwelling of which mention has already been made.
It was on going with his daughters to return her visit that
Mr. Wentworth placed this comfortable cottage at her service;
the offer being the result of a domestic colloquy, diffused through
the ensuing twenty-four hours, in the course of which the two
foreign visitors were discussed and analyzed with a great deal
of earnestness and subtlety. The discussion went forward,
as I say, in the family circle; but that circle on the evening
following Madame M; auunster's return to town, as on many
other occasions, included Robert Acton and his pretty sister.
