That’s right to a point |
I’m afraid that is wrong |
Example:
Marjorie and Bernice, pretty and witty cousins, were incredibly popular among young people.
As far as Marjorie is concerned I couldn’t agree more whereas it would be not a bit of exaggeration to attribute the same claims to Bernice. Notwithstanding the latter’s attractive appearance she was far from being popular among young people through lack of social shrewdness and inadequate conversational skills. |

Bernice who enjoyed genuine popularity in Eau Claire couldn’t understand the reasons for the lack of interest in a new place.

During the dinner Bernice was happy to have Charley Paulson, a most desirable and distinguished young bachelor, as her all-important left.
Much to everybody’s surprise Marjorie announced her decision to have her hair bobbed as she wanted to abandon all social life and live in total seclusion.
Bernice’s words, though rehearsed in advance, stayed unnoticed by the guests.
Marjorie didn’t have a shadow of doubt that her cousin was enjoying the party.
Bernice was profoundly grateful to Marjorie giving her full credit for stirring up interest in her persona.
