The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde: Of course, you would have treated her kindly. One can always

been abject--which, of course, I would not have allowed--
but I assure you that in any case the whole thing would have been an
absolute failure."
