2 And of course I don't say there's any real harm in Bertha.
3 That it was her real self, every pulse in him ardently denied.
4 I believe it does in novels; but I'm certain it don't in real life.
5 And as she looked back she saw that there had never been a time when she had had any real relation to life.
6 Mrs. Trenor's unconsciousness of the real stress of the situation had the effect of making it more galling to Lily.
7 Lily's colour rose at the unexpected advance: it was a long time since real kindness had looked at her from any eyes but Gerty's.
