The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from A Pair of Blue Eyes by Thomas Hardy: again. And he wanted to see me. Who can blame him for trying, by
any means, to stay near me--the girl he loves? All is fair in

'And any man, on discovering what I have discovered, would also do
as I do, and mend my mistake; that is, get shot of him again, as

then remembered that he was a Christian. 'I would not, for the
world, seem to turn him out of doors,' he added; 'but I think he
will have the tact to see that he cannot stay long after this,
with good taste.'
