The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Rezanov by Gertrude Atherton: eyes were wistful. Suddenly she felt sorry for
him; and she had never experienced a pang of sym-
pathy for a suitor before. She leaned forward and
patted his hand.
"I cannot marry you, dear Weeliam," she said,
and never had he seen her so sweet and adorable,
although he noted with a pang that her mouth was
already drawn with a firmer line. "But what mat-
ter? I shall never marry at all. For many years--
forty, fifty perhaps--I shall sit here on the veranda,
and you shall read to me."
