The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Beauty and The Beast by Bayard Taylor: coming.
Two weeks passed, three, and there was neither word nor sign.
Jonathan and Ruth thought, "He is near," and one day a singular
unrest fell upon the former. Ruth saw it, but said nothing until
night came, when she sent Jonathan from her bedside with the words,
"Go and meet him?"
An hour afterwards she heard double steps on the stone walk in
front of the house. They came slowly to the door; it opened; she
heard them along the hall and ascending the stairs; then the
chamber-lamp showed her the two faces, bright with a single,
unutterable joy.
