The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Daisy Miller by Henry James: she was in charming spirits; but she was apparently not at
all excited; she was not fluttered; she avoided neither his eyes
nor those of anyone else; she blushed neither when she looked
at him nor when she felt that people were looking at her.
People continued to look at her a great deal, and Winterbourne took
much satisfaction in his pretty companion's distinguished air.
He had been a little afraid that she would talk loud, laugh overmuch,
and even, perhaps, desire to move about the boat a good deal.
But he quite forgot his fears; he sat smiling, with his
eyes upon her face, while, without moving from her place,
she delivered herself of a great number of original reflections.
