ADVERB PHRASES AND ADVERBIALS
What Mrs Goodchild had said to Mr Goodchild was quite true. The twins,
Sophy and Toni Stanthope, were everything to each other and they hated it.
If they had been identical it might have been better but they were as
different as day and night ...Even when Matty saw them, within a week of
their tenth birthday, Sophy had a sharp idea of how different they were. She

the top, but loosely, in association with her thin body. She had a habit of
kneeling and looking up and saying nothing that had a curious effect on any
grown-up present. They would go all soppy. What made this so maddening
was that all these times, Sophy knew Toni wasnt doing it at all. She wasnt
thinking and she wasnt feeling and she wasnt being. She had simply
