The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from A Book of Remarkable Criminals by H. B. Irving: Opera on the 13th. Her lover was rather surprised at her
request, nor did he wish to appear with her at so public a
gathering. "I don't understand," he writes, "why you are so
anxious to go to the Opera. I can't see any real reason for your
wanting to tire yourself out at such a disreputable gathering.
However, if you are happy and well, and promise to be careful, I
will take you. I would be the last person, my dear little wife,
to deny you anything that would give you pleasure." But for some
reason Georges was unhappy, depressed. Some undefined
presentiment of evil seems to have oppressed him. His brother
noticed his pre-occupation.
