The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Twenty Years After by Alexandre Dumas: "Yes, my lord, the pure parliament."
"What do you mean by `the pure parliament'? Are there, then,

"My friend," D'Artagnan interrupted, "as I don't understand
English and we all understand Spanish, have the kindness to

"Ah! excellent!" said Aramis.

allurements of the breakfast table.
"You were asking, then?" said the host in Spanish.
