Explain and expand on the following. Use the idioms given in Unit 11.

(Passages 1-10 come from The Painted Veil by W. S. Maugham; passages 11—12 are from The Sandcastle by I. Murdoch; passages 13-17 are from Rain by W. S. Maugham; passage 18 comes from The Lion's Skin by W. S. Maugham)

1. There is a wall between the nuns and me... They walk in a different world from ours and we shall always be strangers to them. 2. The Mother Superior lived so obviously upon a plane you could not reach. 3. It's not enough that a religious should be continually in prayer with Jesus; she should be herself a prayer. 4. Her conversation was interwoven with her religion. Kitty felt that this was natural to her and that no effort was made to influence the heretic. 5. You shall have peace of mind only, when you have ceased to desire it... One cannot find peace in work or in pleasure, in the world or in a convent, but only in one's soul. 6. There is only one way to win hearts and that is to make oneself like those by whom you wish to be loved. 7.1 have exchanged a life that was trivial and worthless for one of sacrifice and prayer... I have never regretted the step I took. 8. Perhaps her faults and follies, the unhappiness she had suffered, were not entirely vain if she could follow the path that now she dimly discerned before her... the path those dear nuns at the convent followed so humbly, the path that led to peace. 9. Beauty is also a gift of God, one of the most rare and precious, and we should be thankful if we are happy enough to possess it and thankful, if we are not, that others possess it for our pleasure. 10. They were all, the human race, like the drops of water in that river and they flowed on, each so close to the other and yet so far apart, a nameless flood, to the sea. When all things lasted so short a time and nothing mattered very much, it seemed pitiful that men, attaching an absurd importance to trivial objects, should make themselves and one another so unhappy. 11. Do you imagine that you, or anyone, has some sort of right to happiness? That idea is a poor guide. 12. Real freedom is a total absence of con­cern about yourself. 13. They say that vice is inevitable and con­sequently the best thing is to localize and control it. 14. She has an immortal soul, and I must do all that is in my power to save it. 15. It's a true rebirth. Her soul which was black as night, is now pure and white like the new-fallen snow. 16. I want her to accept the punish­ment of man as a sacrifice to God. I want her to accept it joyfully. God is very good and very merciful. I want to put in her heart the passionate desire to be punished so that at the end, even if I offered to let her go, she would refuse. 17. The men who are in authority speak as though evil that was out of sight ceased to be evil. 18. He's the cleanest man I've ever known. He never asks of others what he isn't prepared to do himself. One cannot help admiring a man whose principles are so high and who's prepared to stick to them at any cost.
