The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Daisy Miller by Henry James: She appeared, indeed, to have felt an incongruous impulse
to draw attention to her own striking observance of them.
"Good night, Mrs. Walker," she said; "we've had a beautiful evening.

looking with a pale, grave face at the circle near the door;
Winterbourne saw that, for the first moment, she was
too much shocked and puzzled even for indignation.
He on his side was greatly touched.
"That was very cruel," he said to Mrs. Walker.
"She never enters my drawing room again!" replied his hostess.
