2 At least the bite " constitutes the difference" between being really angry
and pretending to be angry, the common element being presumably such
behaviour as scowling. Some may recall the textbook example, where it's
only the hair on a gooseberry that stops it from being a grape: by a " goose-
berry ", then, we mean simply a hirsute grape,--and by a " grape " likewise
simply a glabrous gooseberry.

Indeed in English even the accusative case after " pretend ", as in e.g.,
"He pretended sickness ", though a venerable construction is by now
archaistic. In the special construction 'pretending not to be ' there is how-
ever a reference to what is being concealed.

The Gs may stand to the GBs as, say, its " motivation ": then such
expression as " pretending to be angry " will commonly run the two toget
But where the GBs is something more purely " physical ", such as " sawin
girl in half", the Gs, if any, is at a discount.

be something you're not genuinely doing or not what you're really doing.
