    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `thought%1:09:02`: organized beliefs of a period/group/individual (e.g., 19th century thought).
        2.  `thought%1:09:03`: personal belief/judgment not founded on proof (opinion, sentiment).

        4.  `thought%1:09:00`: process of using your mind (thinking, thought process).

    *   The sentence says "a wild thought ran circles through his clouded brain."
    *   The following sentence explains the thought: "Suppose -- just suppose this guy was really what he said he was T!!"
    *   This indicates a sudden idea or a specific notion that occurred to him.

    *   Sense 1 (organized beliefs): Incorrect. This isn't about a philosophical school or a period of history.
    *   Sense 2 (opinion/belief): Close, but "wild thought" in this context usually refers to a sudden idea or hypothesis rather than a long-held opinion or persuasion.
    *   Sense 3 (content of cognition/idea): Fits perfectly. "A wild idea ran circles through his brain." The example "the thought never entered my mind" is very similar to the usage here.
    *   Sense 4 (process of thinking): Incorrect. The "thought" is the *thing* that ran circles, not the *act* of thinking itself.

    *   The context describes a specific idea ("Suppose... this guy was really what he said he was") popping into the character's head. This is the "content of cognition" or an "idea."

    *   The character (Haney) is having a "wild thought."
    *   He says, "Suppose -- just suppose this guy was really what he said he was T!!"
    *   This is a hypothetical scenario he is posing to himself to explore a possibility.
    *   It's not about presupposing a condition (Sense 1 or 3).
    *   It's not simply believing or guessing (Sense 2 or 4) in a declarative way (e.g., "I suppose he is a killer").
    *   It is used to introduce a hypothetical situation for the sake of argument or exploration.

    *   Sense 5: "express a supposition" / "say". Example: "Let's say you had a lot of money--what would you do?"
    *   This matches the usage "Suppose [that] this guy was really what he said he was." It's an invitation to imagine a hypothetical scenario.

    *   Sense 2 (imagine/reckon) is close, but Sense 5 specifically covers the "Let's say/Suppose..." construction used to set up a hypothetical.
    *   Sense 4 (speculate/hypothesize) is also close, but usually describes the *act* of theorizing rather than the *imperative/introductory* use of "Suppose..." to set a scene.
    *   Looking at the example for Sense 5: "Let's say you had a lot of money--what would you do?" This mirrors the structure "Suppose this guy was really what he said he was."

    *   The context "Suppose -- just suppose..." is a classic way of introducing a hypothetical premise. Sense 5's definition "express a supposition" and the example "Let's say..." fit this perfectly.

    *   The phrase is "what he said he was".
    *   The character is claiming to be a "retired professional killer".
    *   This is a claim about his identity.
    *   Sense 6 ("express in words", "state", "tell") is a general sense of communicating information.
    *   Sense 11 ("report or maintain", "allege", "aver") is more specific to making a claim or assertion, especially one that might be questioned (which fits the context "Suppose -- just suppose this guy was really what he said he was").

    *   Sense 6: "He said that he wanted to marry her" (General statement).
    *   Sense 11: "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime" (Claiming something that may or may not be true).

    In the context "Suppose -- just suppose this guy was really what he said he was", the speaker is questioning the truth of the claim. This aligns well with "allege" or "maintain" (Sense 11). However, "say" in "what he said he was" is very common and often maps to the general "state/tell" (Sense 6).

    Let's look at Sense 6 again: "express in words; synonyms=state, tell; examples=He said that he wanted to marry her".
    Let's look at Sense 11 again: "report or maintain; synonyms=allege, aver; examples=He alleged that he was the victim of a crime".

    The context "Suppose... he was really what he said he was" implies a claim about identity. While Sense 11 (allege) fits the *situation* (the claim might be false), the *usage* "what he said he was" is a standard way of expressing "what he stated/told people he was".

    Comparing Sense 6 and Sense 11:
    Sense 6 is the general expression of information.
    Sense 11 is specifically about reporting or maintaining a claim (often a formal or contested one).

    In "what he said he was", the focus is on the content of his statement. Sense 6 is the most natural fit for "state/tell". Sense 11 is usually used for more formal allegations.

    Wait, let's re-evaluate. "He said he was a retired professional killer." This is a claim.
    Sense 6: "He said that he wanted to marry her."
    Sense 11: "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime."

    Is "saying who you are" more like "stating" (6) or "alleging" (11)?
    Usually, "what he said he was" is treated as a simple statement of fact (from his perspective).

    Let's check other options.
    Sense 1: utter aloud (too narrow).
    Sense 3: state as opinion (not an opinion, but a claim of fact).

    Between 6 and 11:
    Sense 6 is "express in words".
    Sense 11 is "report or maintain".

    In many WSD datasets (like SemCor), "say" in the context of "he said he was [something]" is often mapped to the general "state" sense (Sense 6).

    Let's double-check Sense 11 again. "Report or maintain; synonyms=allege, aver".
    If the context is "Suppose... he was really what he said he was", the speaker is doubting the claim. This makes "allege" a very strong synonym.

    However, looking at the examples:
    Sense 6: "He said that he wanted to marry her"
    Sense 11: "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime"

    "He said he was a killer" is structurally identical to "He said he wanted to marry her".

    Let's look at the nuance. "What he said he was" is a very common idiom for "what he claimed to be".
    If I have to choose the *best* sense:
    Sense 6 is the general "state/tell".
    Sense 11 is "allege/aver".

    In the sentence "Suppose... this guy was really what he said he was", the "said" refers to the act of stating his identity.

    Let's try to see if Sense 6 or 11 is more appropriate for "claiming identity".
    "He said he was a doctor." (Sense 6)
    "He alleged he was a doctor." (Sense 11 - sounds too formal/legal).

    The word used is "said", not "alleged". While the *meaning* in this specific context involves a claim that might be false, the *sense* of the word "say" is typically the general "state/tell" unless it's specifically used in a reporting/legal context.

    Wait, let's look at Sense 6 again: "express in words; synonyms=state, tell".
    And Sense 11: "report or maintain; synonyms=allege, aver".

    If the speaker is questioning the truth, "maintain" or "allege" (Sense 11) fits the *situation* perfectly. But "say" is the word used.

    Let's re-read: "Suppose -- just suppose this guy was really what he said he was T!! A retired professional killer".

    If I search for "what he said he was" in WSD contexts, it almost always maps to the general "state" sense.

    Sense 6: express in words (state, tell)
    Sense 11: report or maintain (allege, aver)

    "He said he was a retired professional killer."
    This is a statement of identity.

    Let's compare:
    "He said he was hungry." (Sense 6)
    "He said he was the king of France." (Sense 6 or 11?)

    If the focus is on the *act* of stating, it's 6. If the focus is on the *claim* being made (especially a dubious one), it's 11.

    In "Suppose... he was really what he said he was", the focus is on the truth of the claim. This leans slightly toward 11. But "say" is so general.

    Let's look at the examples for 6 again: "He said that he wanted to marry her". This is also a claim about a future intention/desire.

    Let's look at 11 again: "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime". This is a specific type of claim (an allegation).

    "What he said he was" is a very common phrase. In most linguistic corpora, this is the general "state" sense.

    Let's consider if any other sense fits.
    Sense 3: state as one's opinion or judgement. (Not an opinion).
    Sense 1: utter aloud. (Too simple).

    Decision: Sense 6 is the most general and fits the structure "said that [clause]". Sense 11 is for more formal "alleging". "What he said he was" is a standard expression of stating identity.

    Wait, let me think one more time.
    "Suppose... he was really what he said he was."
    The "really" emphasizes the gap between the *statement* and the *reality*.
    This is the essence of "allege" (to claim without proof).

    If the sense is "allege", then 11 is better.
    If the sense is "state", then 6 is better.

    Let's look at the synonyms for 11: "allege, aver".
    "Aver" means to state or assert to be the case.
    "Allege" means to claim that someone has done something illegal or wrong, or to claim that something is the case, typically without proof.

    "He said he was a retired professional killer."
    This is definitely claiming something without proof.

    However, in WordNet, Sense 6 is the default for "say" in "He said that...".

    Let's try to find this specific example or similar ones in WSD datasets.
    (Searching for "what he said he was")
    Usually, "say" in "he said he was [X]" is mapped to the general "state" sense.

    Let's compare Sense 6 and Sense 11 again.
    6: express in words (state, tell)
    11: report or maintain (allege, aver)

    If I say "He said he was a doctor," I am reporting his words.
    If I say "He alleged he was a doctor," I am emphasizing that it's an unproven claim.
    The sentence "Suppose... he was really what he said he was" uses the word "said", but the *context* provides the "alleged" meaning.

    But the question is: which *sense* of the word "say" is being used?
    The word "say" itself doesn't change its meaning to "allege" just because the speaker doubts the statement; rather, the *situation* makes the statement an allegation. The act of "saying" is still just "stating".

    Let's look at Sense 6's example: "He said that he wanted to marry her".
    This is a simple statement of intent.
    "He said he was a killer" is a simple statement of identity.

    I will go with Sense 6.

    *Self-Correction:* Let me double-check Sense 11 one more time. "Report or maintain".
    "Maintain" means to assert strongly.
    "He maintained that he was innocent."
    "He said he was a retired professional killer."
    Does "said" here mean "maintained"? Not necessarily. He might have just mentioned it once.

    Sense 6 is the safest and most likely correct answer for "said [that] he was".

    *   The sentence is: "If he was just a nut, no harm was done."
    *   This is a common idiomatic expression ("no harm done") meaning that no damage, injury, or negative consequence occurred.
    *   The context involves a potential threat (a "retired professional killer"). If the person is just "a nut" (crazy/harmless), then no actual damage or negative outcome resulted from the situation.

    *   Sense 1: "the occurrence of a change for the worse" (damage, impairment). This is quite general.
    *   Sense 2: "any physical damage to the body caused by violence or accident..." (injury, hurt, trauma). This is specific to physical injury.
    *   Sense 3: "the act of damaging something or someone" (damage, hurt, scathe). This focuses on the *act* of damaging.

        *   Sense 1: occurrence of a change for the worse.
        *   Sense 3: the act of damaging.
    *   If someone says "no harm was done," they mean no damage occurred.
    *   Wait, let's look at WordNet's typical usage for "no harm done".
    *   Actually, "harm" in "no harm done" often maps to the general concept of damage or injury.
    *   Sense 1: "the occurrence of a change for the worse" (damage, impairment).
    *   Sense 2: "physical damage to the body".
    *   Sense 3: "the act of damaging something or someone".

    *   Is it the *act* (Sense 3) or the *occurrence/result* (Sense 1)?
    *   "No harm was done" -> No damage occurred.
    *   Sense 1: "the occurrence of a change for the worse".
    *   Sense 3: "the act of damaging something or someone".
    *   Usually, "harm" in this context is the result.

    *   Let's check synonyms:
        *   Sense 1: damage, impairment.
        *   Sense 2: injury, hurt, trauma.
        *   Sense 3: damage, hurt, scathe.

    *   In the context of a "professional killer," the "harm" could be physical (Sense 2), but the phrase "no harm was done" is a general expression.
    *   If the person is just a "nut," then no damage (general) happened.
    *   Sense 1 seems the most fitting for the general "occurrence of a change for the worse" or "damage".

    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 3: "the act of damaging something or someone".
    *   If I say "no harm was done," am I saying "no act of damaging occurred" or "no change for the worse occurred"?
    *   Actually, "no harm done" is often used when a mistake was made but it didn't result in any negative consequence. This aligns better with Sense 1 (the occurrence of a change for the worse).

    *   Let's double-check Sense 2 (physical damage). While the context mentions a killer, "no harm done" is a very common idiom. Does it specifically mean physical injury here? "If he was just a nut, no harm was done." It means the situation didn't result in any negative outcome.

    *   Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 3 again.
        Sense 1: occurrence of a change for the worse.
        Sense 3: act of damaging.
        "No harm was done" -> No negative result occurred.

    *   Looking at WordNet (via other sources) for "no harm done":
        "Harm" as a noun can be "physical injury" or "damage".
        Sense 1: damage, impairment (occurrence of a change for the worse).
        Sense 2: injury, hurt (physical damage).
        Sense 3: damage, hurt (the act of damaging).

    *   In "no harm was done", "harm" is the result. Sense 1 describes the occurrence/result. Sense 3 describes the act.

    *   Let's re-read the context: "Suppose... this guy was really what he said he was... A retired professional killer... If he was just a nut, no harm was done."
    *   This implies that if he's just crazy, he hasn't actually caused any damage/injury.

    *   Is it Sense 1 or Sense 2?
        Sense 1: general damage/impairment.
        Sense 2: physical injury.
        Given the "professional killer" context, physical injury is the primary concern. However, "no harm done" is such a standard phrase for "no negative consequence."

    *   Let's look at the synonyms again.
        Sense 1: damage, impairment.
        Sense 2: injury, hurt, trauma.
        Sense 3: damage, hurt, scathe.

    *   If the killer is "just a nut," then no one was hurt. "No harm was done."
    *   In many WSD datasets, "no harm done" maps to the general sense of damage or the specific sense of injury.

    *   Let's re-examine Sense 1: "the occurrence of a change for the worse".
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 3: "the act of damaging something or someone".

    *   Actually, "no harm was done" usually means "no damage occurred."
    *   If I have to choose between "occurrence of a change for the worse" (1) and "act of damaging" (3), "occurrence" (1) fits "was done" (meaning happened/occurred) better.

    *   Wait, let me think about Sense 2 again. "any physical damage to the body caused by violence...". If the threat is a professional killer, the "harm" being discussed is almost certainly physical injury.

    *   Let's compare:
        1. General damage/change for the worse.
        2. Physical injury.
        3. The act of damaging.

    *   In the sentence "If he was just a nut, no harm was done," the speaker is relieved that the person isn't a real killer, meaning no one was physically hurt.

    *   Let's search for "no harm done" in WSD contexts. Often, it's mapped to the most general sense of "harm" (damage/injury).

    *   Let's look at the senses again.
        Sense 1: harm%1:11:01 (damage, impairment)
        Sense 2: harm%1:26:00 (injury, hurt, trauma)
        Sense 3: harm%1:04:00 (the act of damaging)

    *   If the context is a "professional killer," the most likely "harm" is physical injury (Sense 2).

    *   Wait, let me re-read the context one more time. "Suppose... this guy was really what he said he was... A retired professional killer... If he was just a nut, no harm was done. But if he was the real thing, he could do something about Lolly."
    *   The contrast is between "no harm was done" (past/present result) and "he could do something about Lolly" (future potential for harm). "Do something about Lolly" in the context of a professional killer definitely means physical harm/killing. Therefore, "no harm was done" refers to the same type of harm: physical injury/death.

    *   So, Sense 2 (physical damage to the body) is a very strong candidate.

    *   Let's double-check Sense 1 again. "the occurrence of a change for the worse". This is very broad.
    *   Sense 2: "any physical damage to the body caused by violence or accident...".

    *   In the context of a professional killer, "harm" almost always means physical injury.

    *   Let's think about the phrase "no harm done" again. Does it *always* mean physical? No. But in *this* context, it's contrasted with a professional killer's ability to "do something" to someone.

    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 2.
        Sense 1: damage, impairment.
        Sense 2: injury, hurt, trauma.

    *   If the person is a "nut" (harmless), then no one was *injured*.

    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: damage, impairment.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 2: injury, hurt, trauma.

    *   "No harm was done" -> "No injury was caused."

    *   Let's consider Sense 3 again: "the act of damaging something or someone".
        "No act of damaging was done." (This sounds less natural than "no injury occurred").

    *   Between Sense 1 and Sense 2:
        Sense 1 is more general (any change for the worse).
        Sense 2 is specific (physical damage to the body).
        The context of a "professional killer" strongly points to physical damage.

    *   Wait, let me search for this specific sentence or similar ones in WSD corpora (like SemCor).
        (Searching...)
        Actually, "no harm done" is often categorized under the general sense of "harm" (damage).

    *   Let's look at the senses one more time.
        1. occurrence of a change for the worse (damage, impairment)
        2. physical damage to the body (injury, hurt, trauma)
        3. the act of damaging something or someone (damage, hurt, scathe)

    *   If I say "no harm was done" after someone almost knocks over a vase, I mean Sense 1.
    *   If I say "no harm was done" after someone almost shoots me, I mean Sense 2.
    *   In this story, the threat is a professional killer. The "harm" is the physical danger he poses.

    *   Therefore, Sense 2 is the most precise fit for the context.

    *   Wait, let me double-check. Is "no harm was done" an idiom that *always* uses the general sense?
        "No harm done" = "It doesn't matter; no damage was caused."
        If the damage being discussed is physical, then Sense 2 is the most specific and accurate.

    *   Let's re-read: "If he was just a nut, no harm was done. But if he was the real thing, he could do something about Lolly."
        The "harm" in the first sentence is the same "harm" that the "real thing" (the killer) could do to Lolly. "Doing something about Lolly" (in the context of a killer) means killing or hurting her.

    *   This strongly points to Sense 2.

    *   Let me just quickly check if Sense 1 could be better. "the occurrence of a change for the worse". This is so broad it *could* fit, but Sense 2 is more specific to the context of a killer.

    *   Wait, let me look at Sense 3 again. "the act of damaging something or someone".
        "No harm was done" -> "No act of damaging was performed."
        This is also possible, but "harm" in "no harm done" usually refers to the *result* (the injury/damage) rather than the *act* itself.

    *   Final check:
        Context: Professional killer, "no harm was done", "could do something about Lolly".
        Sense 1: General change for the worse.
        Sense 2: Physical injury.
        Sense 3: Act of damaging.
        The most fitting sense is physical injury.

    *   Wait, let me think one more time. Is "no harm done" *always* general?
        If I say "I'm sorry I stepped on your toe," and you say "No harm done," you mean "No injury occurred." (Sense 2).
        If I say "I'm sorry I forgot to call you," and you say "No harm done," you mean "No negative consequence occurred." (Sense 1).
        In the killer context, the potential "harm" is physical.

    *   Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 2 again.
        Sense 1: damage, impairment.
        Sense 2: injury, hurt, trauma.
        If the killer is "just a nut," then no one was *hurt*.

    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: damage, impairment.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 2: injury, hurt, trauma.
    *   "No injury was done" (not quite) vs "No harm was done".
    *   Actually, "harm" in "no harm done" is often used as a synonym for "injury" or "damage".

    *   Let's try to see if "harm" in "no harm done" is more commonly Sense 1 or Sense 2.
        In many contexts, "no harm done" means "no damage was caused."
        If the damage is physical, it's Sense 2. If it's not, it's Sense 1.
        Given the "professional killer" context, it's almost certainly physical.

    *   Let me double-check the sense keys.
        harm%1:11:01 (Sense 1)
        harm%1:26:00 (Sense 2)
        harm%1:04:00 (Sense 3)

    *   Wait, I just noticed something. Let me re-read Sense 1: "the occurrence of a change for the worse".
        And Sense 3: "the act of damaging something or someone".
        And Sense 2: "any physical damage to the body...".

    *   If the phrase is "no harm was done," the "harm" is the *thing* that was (or wasn't) done.
        "No [physical damage] was done."
        "No [act of damaging] was done."
        "No [occurrence of a change for the worse] was done." (This one sounds wrong).

    *   Wait, "no harm was done" is a passive construction. "Harm" is the subject.
        If "harm" is "the act of damaging" (Sense 3), then "no act of damaging was done" makes sense.
        If "harm" is "physical damage" (Sense 2), then "no physical damage was done" (a bit awkward, usually "no physical damage was caused").
        If "harm" is "the occurrence of a change for the worse" (Sense 1), then "no occurrence of a change for the worse was done" (very awkward).

    *   Let's re-think. "No harm was done."
        In this phrase, "done" is often used as a synonym for "caused" or "occurred."
        "No harm [damage/injury] was caused."

    *   If "harm" means "the act of damaging" (Sense 3), then "no act of damaging was performed."

    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 3: damage, hurt, scathe.
        "No damage was done." (Very common).
        "No hurt was done." (Less common).

    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 2: injury, hurt, trauma.
        "No injury was done." (Incorrect).

    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: damage, impairment.
        "No damage was done." (Very common).

    *   So it's between Sense 1 and Sense 3.
        Sense 1: the occurrence of a change for the worse.
        Sense 3: the act of damaging something or someone.

    *   Wait, "no harm done" is an idiom. Let's think about what it *means*. It means "no damage was caused."
        Is "damage" the *act* of damaging or the *result* of damaging?
        Usually, "damage" (the noun) is the result.

    *   Let's re-examine Sense 1: "the occurrence of a change for the worse". This is a result.
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 3: "the act of damaging something or someone". This is an action.

    *   In "no harm was done," the "harm" is the result.

        3.  `harm%1:04:00::` (the act of damaging something or someone; damage, hurt, scathe)

    *   The sentence is: "If he was just a nut, no harm was done."
    *   This is a common idiomatic expression ("no harm done") meaning that no damage, injury, or negative consequence occurred.
    *   In this specific context, the speaker is weighing whether the person is a dangerous professional killer or just a "nut" (crazy person). If he's just a nut, the situation hasn't resulted in any actual negative outcome or damage.

    *   Sense 1: "the occurrence of a change for the worse" (damage, impairment). This is a general sense of negative outcome.
    *   Sense 2: "any physical damage to the body" (injury, hurt, trauma). This is specific to physical injury.
    *   Sense 3: "the act of damaging something or someone" (damage, hurt, scathe). This focuses on the *act* of causing damage.

    *   "No harm was done" usually refers to the *result* (no damage occurred) rather than the *act* of damaging (Sense 3) or specifically *physical injury* (Sense 2), although physical injury is a possibility.

        *   Sense 3: "the act of damaging something or someone".
    *   In the phrase "no harm was done", "harm" refers to the negative consequence or damage that *could* have happened.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3: Sense 1 is the *occurrence* of a change for the worse. Sense 3 is the *act* of damaging. "No harm was done" typically means no negative result occurred.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 3.
        *   Sense 1: occurrence of a change for the worse.
        *   Sense 3: the act of damaging.
    *   Actually, in many WordNet-based datasets, "no harm done" maps to the general concept of damage or injury.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms:
        *   Sense 1: damage, impairment.
        *   Sense 2: injury, hurt, trauma.
        *   Sense 3: damage, hurt, scathe.
    *   If the person is "just a nut", it means no one was hurt and nothing was ruined.
    *   Sense 1 (occurrence of a change for the worse) fits the general "no negative outcome" meaning of "no harm done".
    *   Sense 3 (the act of damaging) is slightly different; it's the action.
    *   Sense 2 is too narrow (physical only).

    *   "No harm done" is a very common phrase. Does it mean "no act of damaging occurred" or "no negative change occurred"?
    *   Usually, it means no damage resulted.
    *   Sense 1: "the occurrence of a change for the worse".
    *   Sense 3: "the act of damaging something or someone".
    *   If I say "no harm was done", I'm saying the result was not negative.
    *   Let's check common WordNet mappings for "no harm done". Often, "harm" in this context is treated as "damage" or "injury".
    *   Sense 1: damage, impairment.
    *   Sense 3: damage, hurt, scathe.
    *   Wait, Sense 1 is "the occurrence of a change for the worse". Sense 3 is "the act of damaging".
    *   In "no harm was done", "harm" is the object/result.
    *   Let's look at the context again: "If he was just a nut, no harm was done. But if he was the real thing, he could do something about Lolly."
    *   This implies that if he's just a nut, he hasn't actually caused any damage/injury.
    *   Sense 1 seems the most encompassing for "no negative consequence".

    *   Sense 1: occurrence of a change for the worse.
    *   Sense 3: the act of damaging.
    *   "No harm was done" -> "No [negative result] occurred".
    *   Sense 1 fits "negative result" better than Sense 3 "the act of damaging".

    *   Sense 3: harm%1:04:00 (act of damaging)
    *   In the context of "no harm was done", it's generally used to mean no one was hurt and nothing was damaged. Sense 1 is the most general.

    *   Wait, let me double-check Sense 3 again. "the act of damaging something or someone".
    *   If "harm" is the act, then "no harm was done" means "no act of damaging was performed".
    *   If "harm" is the result, then "no harm was done" means "no negative change occurred".
    *   Usually, "harm" in "no harm done" refers to the damage itself.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: damage, impairment.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 3: damage, hurt, scathe.
    *   This is tricky. Let's think about the phrase "do harm". "To do harm" means to cause damage. "No harm was done" is the passive of "Someone did no harm".
    *   If "do harm" means "cause damage", then "harm" is the damage (the result).
    *   Sense 1: "the occurrence of a change for the worse".
    *   Sense 3: "the act of damaging".
    *   If "harm" is the act, then "doing harm" is "doing the act of damaging", which is redundant.
    *   If "harm" is the result, then "doing harm" is "causing the occurrence of a change for the worse". This makes more sense.

    *   Sense 1: occurrence of a change for the worse.
    *   Sense 2: physical damage.
    *   Sense 3: act of damaging.
    *   "No harm was done" -> No negative result occurred. Sense 1.

*   Target lemma: `feel`
    *   Target surface form: `felt`
    *   Context: "He <t>felt</t> very cunning, very proud of himself as he played on the other man's soft spot."
    *   Meaning: The character is experiencing an internal emotional/mental state (feeling cunning and proud).

    *   1: examine (a body part) by palpation (Physical touch) - No.
    *   2: perceive by a physical sensation (Physical sensation) - No.
    *   3: have a feeling or perception about oneself in reaction to someone's behavior or attitude (Self-perception based on others) - Maybe, but "cunning" and "proud" are more general states of mind here, not necessarily a reaction to the other person's behavior (though he is playing on the other man's soft spot).

*   Target word: "cunning"
    *   Context: "Then a wild thought ran circles through his clouded brain. Suppose -- just suppose this guy was really what he said he was T!! A retired professional killer... He felt very <t>cunning</t>, very proud of himself as he played on the other man's soft spot."
    *   Candidate Senses:
        1.  `attractive` (cute, small, pretty)
        2.  `artful` (skill in deception, crafty, guileful)
        3.  `adroit` (inventiveness and skill, clever, ingenious)

    *   The character has a "wild thought" and decides to "play on the other man's soft spot" to achieve a goal (getting help for Lolly).
    *   He feels "proud of himself" for this realization/strategy.
    *   This involves a level of manipulation or strategic thinking to get what he wants.

    *   Sense 1 (attractive/cute): Completely irrelevant.
    *   Sense 2 (artful/deception): "Marked by skill in deception", "crafty", "guileful". Playing on someone's soft spot is a form of manipulation/guile.
    *   Sense 3 (adroit/inventiveness): "Showing inventiveness and skill", "clever", "ingenious".

    *   Sense 2 emphasizes deception and craftiness (often with a negative or morally ambiguous connotation).
    *   Sense 3 emphasizes cleverness and ingenuity (often more positive or neutral).
    *   The phrase "played on the other man's soft spot" strongly suggests a level of manipulation or craftiness (Sense 2). However, the character feels "proud of himself," which might lean towards "clever" (Sense 3).
    *   Let's look at the synonyms:
        *   Sense 2: crafty, dodgy, foxy, guileful, knavish, slick.
        *   Sense 3: clever, ingenious.
    *   "Playing on a soft spot" is a classic "crafty" or "guileful" move. It's a tactical manipulation.
    *   Comparing "artful" (Sense 2) vs "adroit" (Sense 3): "Artful" often implies a certain level of trickery or manipulation to achieve an end, which fits "played on the other man's soft spot" perfectly.

    *   Sense 2: "marked by skill in deception" / "crafty".
    *   Sense 3: "showing inventiveness and skill" / "clever".
    *   The act of manipulating someone's emotions ("played on the other man's soft spot") is more aligned with "crafty/guileful" (Sense 2) than "ingenious/inventive" (Sense 3).

    *   Wait, let me re-read. "He felt very cunning, very proud of himself as he played on the other man's soft spot."
    *   Is it "deception" (Sense 2) or "cleverness" (Sense 3)?
    *   Playing on a soft spot isn't necessarily lying (deception), but it is a form of social manipulation.
    *   In many contexts, "cunning" used this way means "clever in a way that is slightly underhanded."
    *   Sense 2: "marked by skill in deception" (crafty, guileful).
    *   Sense 3: "showing inventiveness and skill" (clever, ingenious).
    *   "Crafty" is a very close synonym for "cunning" when manipulating people.

    *   Sense 2: "cunning men often pass for wise; deep political machinations"
    *   Sense 3: "a clever gadget; the cunning maneuvers leading to his success"
    *   The "maneuvers leading to his success" in Sense 3 could be similar, but "playing on a soft spot" is more about the *guile* (Sense 2) than the *inventiveness* (Sense 3).

    *   Sense 2 is "artful" (crafty, guileful).
    *   Sense 3 is "adroit" (clever, ingenious).
    *   Manipulating someone's emotions is a hallmark of being "crafty" or "guileful."

    *   Sense 2: "marked by skill in deception"
    *   Sense 3: "showing inventiveness and skill"
    *   Is playing on a soft spot "deception"? Not necessarily, but it is "artful" in the sense of being crafty.
    *   Is it "inventiveness"? Not really.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms again. "Crafty" (Sense 2) fits "playing on a soft spot" much better than "ingenious" (Sense 3).

    *   Sense 2: artful, crafty, guileful.
    *   Sense 3: adroit, clever, ingenious.
    *   The context "played on the other man's soft spot" is a classic example of being crafty/guileful.

    *   Sense 2: cunning%5:00:00:artful:00
    *   Sense 3: cunning%5:00:00:adroit:00
    *   The character is being manipulative. Sense 2 is the best fit.
