The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy: his cousin.
"But why was it you didn't come to dinner?" she said, admiring
him.
"I must tell you about that. I was busily employed, and doing

"Well, did you succeed?"
"Almost."
"You really must tell me about it," she said, getting up. "Come
to me in the next entr'acte."
