The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Main Street by Sinclair Lewis: I take Myrtle, it's to forget you."
"Please, please!"
"It's you that are unstable! You talk at things and play
at things, but you're scared. Would I mind it if you and I
went off to poverty, and I had to dig ditches? I would not!
But you would. I think you would come to like me, but you
won't admit it. I wouldn't have said this, but when you
sneer at Myrtle and the mill---- If I'm not to have good
sensible things like those, d' you think I'll be content with
trying to become a damn dressmaker, after YOU? Are you fair?
Are you?"
