The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Confidence by Henry James: to three poor lonely women, especially when he is at the same time
so friendly and so delicate as Mr. Wright. I don't know what we should
have done without him, and I feel as if every one ought to know it.
He seems like a very old friend. My daughter and I quite worship him.
I will not conceal from you that when I saw you coming through the grounds
a short time ago without him I was very much disappointed. I hope he is
not ill."
Bernard sat listening, with his eyes on the ground.
"Oh no, he is simply at home writing letters."
Mrs. Vivian was silent a moment.
"I suppose he has a very large correspondence."
