The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Pupil by Henry James: shouldn't be able to go on longer without a little money. He was
still simple enough to suppose Ulick and Paula and Amy might not
know that since his arrival he had only had a hundred and forty
francs; and he was magnanimous enough to wish not to compromise
their parents in their eyes. Mr. Moreen now listened to him, as he
listened to every one and to every thing, like a man of the world,
and seemed to appeal to him - though not of course too grossly - to
try and be a little more of one himself. Pemberton recognised in
fact the importance of the character - from the advantage it gave
Mr. Moreen. He was not even confused or embarrassed, whereas the
young man in his service was more so than there was any reason for.
