The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Betty Zane by Zane Grey: "What! Betty not looking well! She was never ill in her life. I have noticed
no change in her."
"No, I daresay you have not. You men can't see anything. But I can, and I tell
you, Betty is very different from the girl she used to be. Most of the time
she sits and gazes out of her window. She used to be so bright, and when she
was not romping with the children she busied herself with her needle.
Yesterday as I entered her room she hurriedly picked up a book, and, I think,
intentionally hid her face behind it. I saw she had been crying."
"Come to think of it, I believe I have missed Betty," said Col. Zane, gravely.
"She seems more quiet. Is she unhappy? When did you first see this change?"
"I think it a little while after Mr. Clarke left here last fall."
