The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Brother of Daphne by Dornford Yates: enveloped in a magnificent sable coat: her head was bare. The
great thing about her was her exquisite voice. While her fingers
were busy about the girl's hat and throat, the latter opened her
eyes. Then she sat up and put her hand to her head.
"No, lean back, my dear," said our hostess. "I will spray you."
She sprayed her with eau-de-Cologne.
"That's lovely," said the girl, with closed eyes. "Thank you so
much."
The other stopped for a moment to take off the jaunty little hat
and lightly push the dark hair away from the white temples.
The girl thanked her with a smile. Then she started up again.
