1 In his inmost heart he was not sorry to put himself beyond the probability of meeting Miss Bart.
2 Nevertheless, some precautionary instinct warned Lily to withdraw beyond ear-shot of the hovering parlour-maid.
3 But as her glance assured her that they were still beyond ear-shot a sense of pleasure replaced her apprehension.
4 Mrs. Bry, to Mrs. Fisher's despair, had not progressed beyond the point of weighing her social alternatives in public.
5 The Duchess, who seldom explained herself, had not formulated her objection beyond saying: "She's rather a bore, you know."
6 Through the boughs of the long avenue beyond the gardens she caught the flash of wheels, and divined that more visitors were approaching.
7 This attribute was common to most of Lily's set: they had a force of negation which eliminated everything beyond their own range of perception.
8 The mere fact that they thus showed themselves together, with the utmost openness the place afforded, seemed to declare beyond a doubt that their differences were composed.
9 It was difficult to define her beyond saying that she seemed to exist only as a hostess, not so much from any exaggerated instinct of hospitality as because she could not sustain life except in a crowd.
10 There were moments when she longed blindly for anything different, anything strange, remote and untried; but the utmost reach of her imagination did not go beyond picturing her usual life in a new setting.
