"The genuineness of religion" to quote Professor William James "is thus indissolubly bound up with the question whether the prayerful consciousness be or be not deceitful.

Though no pains is spared to delineate Romola, Tito, and the inspiring monk, Savonarola, yet they do not possess the genuineness and reality that are felt in her Warwickshire characters.

Never doubting, in his hurry, the genuineness of the message, Ketch pulled his door to, and stepped off, the young messenger having already decamped. The green gates were not one minute's walk from the lodge though a projecting buttress of the cathedral prevented the one from being in sight of the other and old Ketch gained them, and looked around.
