The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Confidence by Henry James: have not bored you; it is not in the least necessary.
You know perfectly well that you are disappointed in
the charm of my society. And I have done my best, too.
I can honestly affirm that!' For some time he said nothing,
and then he remarked that I was very clever, but he did
n't see a word of sense in what I said. 'It only proves,'
I said, 'that the merit of my conversation is smaller than you
had taken it into your head to fancy. But I have done you good,
all the same. Don't contradict me; you don't know yet;
and it 's too late for us to argue about it. You will tell me
to-morrow.'"
