The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen: Mrs. Gardiner looked at her niece with a smile, but Elizabeth
could not return it.
"And that," said Mrs Reynolds, pointing to another of the
miniatures, "is my master-- and very like him. It was drawn at
the same time as the other-- about eight years ago."
"I have heard much of your master's fine person," said Mrs.
Gardiner, looking at the picture; "it is a handsome face. But,
Lizzy, you can tell us whether it is like or not."
Mrs. Reynolds respect for Elizabeth seemed to increase on this
intimation of her knowing her master.
"Does that young lady know Mr. Darcy?"
