The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen: While settling this point, she was suddenly roused by the sound
of the door-bell, and her spirits were a little fluttered by the idea
of its being Colonel Fitzwilliam himself, who had once before
called late in the evening, and might now come to inquire
particularly after her. But this idea was soon banished, and her
spirits were very differently affected, when, to her utter
amazement, she saw Mr. Darcy walk into the room. In an
hurried manner he immediately began an inquiry after her health,
imputing his visit to a wish of hearing that she were better. She
answered him with cold civility. He sat down for a few
moments, and then getting up, walked about the room.
