Changes

<blockquote>In Henry James's "The [[Real ]] [[Thing]]," the painter-narrator agrees to hire the impoverished "[[true]]" aristocrats Major and Mrs. Monarch as models for his illustrations of a de luxe book. However, although they are the "real thing," their drawings appear a fake, so the painter has to rely more and more on a vulgar couple of the cheap Cockney [[model ]] Miss Churm and the lithe Italian Oronte, whose imitation of the high-[[class ]] poses works much better... is this not the unfathomable "minimal [[difference]]" at its purest?<ref><u>[[The Parallax View]]</u></ref></blockquote>
