The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Ferragus by Honore de Balzac: "You, monsieur, you, with your horrid inventions,--you are the cause
of her death!"
"Hush, miserable woman!" replied Jules, putting his handkerchief on
the mouth of the old woman, who began at once to cry out, "Murder!
help!"
At this instant Clemence entered, saw her husband, uttered a cry, and
fled away.
"Who will save my child?" cried the widow Gruget. "You have murdered
her."
"How?" asked Jules, mechanically, for he was horror-struck at being
seen by his wife.
