face, he decided to tell the truth,
straightforwardly."

1. What effect does the repetition of infinitives (to
lie, to bluster, to remain) in the first clause have
on the meaning of the sentence? How do these
infinitives prepare you for the infinitive phrase (to
tell the truth) in the second clause?

Huxley's sentence?
