(Yes, that about sums it up.)
"The amount of mathematics she knows will surprise you."

"When this person left our employ, we were quite hopeful he would go

(We hoped he'd go as far as possible.)
"You won't find many people like her."
(In fact, most people can't stand being around her.)
"I cannot reccommend him too highly."
(However, to the best of my knowledge, he has never committed a
