The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Chouans by Honore de Balzac: a voice of deep emotion:--
"Then you began as you would have ended, by deceiving me?"
"Yes," he said.
At this answer she turned again from the carriage, which was now
overtaking them, and began to almost run along the road.
"I thought," he said, following her, "that the open air did not agree
with you?"
"Oh! it has changed," she replied in a grave tone, continuing to walk
on, a prey to agitating thoughts.
"You do not answer me," said the young man, his heart full of the soft
expectation of coming pleasure.
