Read this excerpt from the bachelor's story in "The Story-Teller," in which he is describing the character Bertha: "'Was she pretty?' asked the bigger of the small girls. 'Not as pretty as any of you,' said the bachelor, 'but she was horribly good.' There was a wave of reaction in favour of the story; the word horrible in connection with goodness was a novelty that commended itself. It seemed to introduce a ring of truth that was absent from the aunt’s tales of infant life." What does the phrase "horribly good" imply about Bertha's goodness?A that she is actually bad whenever she has a chance to be B that being pretty is not necessarily part of being good C that some aspect of her "goodness" is not really good D that the three children hearing the story should try to be as good as she is.
