The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Witch, et. al by Anton Chekhov: useless tricks. For instance, he would catch nightingales only

"Very well, thank God. . . . Don't tell anyone, sir, will you?"
she added suddenly in a whisper.
