The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Amazing Interlude by Mary Roberts Rinehart: Henri looked longingly at the water.
"Had I a dry towel," he said, "I would go in again"
Jean looked at him with his one eye.
"You would be prettier without those scars" he observed. But in his
heart he prayed that there might be no others added to them, that
nothing might mar or destroy that bright and youthful body.
"Depechez-vous! Vous sommes Presses!" he added.
But Henri was minded to play. He girded himself with the towel and
struck an attitude.
"The Russian ballet, Jean!" he said, and capering madly sent Jean
into deep grumbles of laughter by his burlesque.
