Now first the cloud of phantasms cleared away: he beheld his real life, and the colours of true human joy: and on the morrow perhaps he was to close his eyes on them. That leaden bullet dispersed all unrealities. They stood about him in the hall, his father, Lady Blandish, Mrs. Doria, Adrian, Ripton; people who had known him long.
I walked about the streets, looking at the houses, the theaters, the public buildings, and presently found myself in a square where I remarked a large building; very handsome, dainty and attractive. I was surprised on reading on the facade this inscription in letters of gold, "Suicide Bureau." Oh, the weirdness of waking dreams where the spirit soars into a world of unrealities and possibilities!
The tears came to his eyes, then dried suddenly. "But she's been attending the doctor in Nottingham and she never told me," he said. "If I'd have been at home," said Annie, "I should have seen for myself." He felt like a man walking in unrealities. In the afternoon he went to see the doctor. The latter was a shrewd, lovable man. "But what is it?" he said.
I think I would never have ventured after all, I would have stayed a Mushroom always, and let the Boy be buried and forgotten; but Molly wouldn't let me." "God bless Molly." I suppose I must have led her to my table, for at this juncture we found ourselves there. "Will Monsieur have dinner served?" breathed a voice out of the hazy unrealities that shut us two in alone together.
I suspect that the large, mild boy, the son of a neighboring farmer, who mainly shared our games, had but a dim notion of what I meant by my strange people, but I did my best to enlighten him, and he helped me make a dream out of my life, and did his best to dwell in the region of unrealities where I preferably had my being; he was from time to time a Moor when I think he would rather have been a Mingo.
She had thrown a spell into his life this night, and his steps were wandering on, purposeless, unconscious, with an exhilaration akin to some subtle opiate. Her life was set in noisome places.

There is something pleasant in thinking of those brilliant places, full of unrealities, with crowds engulfing themselves into this light from out of the dreary, foggy streets.
She did not admire the description of the costume, she would rather have something less outrageous. 'Outrageous! It is only original, exclaimed her chaperon. 'If Chaumont wears it you may be sure it is perfect. 'But on the stage, by gaslight, in the midst of unrealities, argued Lesbia. 'That makes such a difference.
When Sam continued to be much in the company of Mary, Telfer grew more bitter. "I would have you observe women's minds and avoid letting them influence your own," he told the boy. "They live in a world of unrealities. They like even vulgar people in books, but shrink from the simple, earthy folk about them. That school teacher is so. Is she like me?
He that is emancipate thinks, this transitory organism can never make me liable to joy and grief and the other attributes inhering to it: nor can there be, in my case, anything like death and birth: and, further, when Brahman, which hath no opposing force to contend against and which is alike in all times and all places, constitutes the resting-place of both realities and unrealities, how can emancipation be mine?
