The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from My Antonia by Willa Cather: Before the first of June, Gaston Cleric was offered
an instructorship at Harvard College, and accepted it.
He suggested that I should follow him in the fall, and complete
my course at Harvard. He had found out about Lena--not from me--
and he talked to me seriously.
`You won't do anything here now. You should either quit school
and go to work, or change your college and begin again in earnest.
You won't recover yourself while you are playing about with this
handsome Norwegian. Yes, I've seen her with you at the theatre.
She's very pretty, and perfectly irresponsible, I should judge.'
Cleric wrote my grandfather that he would like to take me East with him.
