The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from An International Episode by Henry James: probably be struck with that. It was also represented to
the strangers that it mattered very little whether their hotel
was agreeable, as everyone would want them to make visits;
they would stay with other people, and, in any case,
they would be a great deal at Mrs. Westgate's. They would find
that very charming; it was the pleasantest house in Newport.
It was a pity Mr. Westgate was always away; he was a man
of the highest ability--very acute, very acute. He worked like
a horse, and he left his wife--well, to do about as she liked.
He liked her to enjoy herself, and she seemed to know how.
She was extremely brilliant and a splendid talker.
