Others say that the intention was to 'prevent more life escaping from him. But 'dead' is not usually supposed to be an adjective admitting of comparison. Others find the reason in the wish to deliver Israel from the superstitious veneration of such things as the staff, by showing that it was powerless.
She hated 'that putrid boy' a forbidden adjective; but what else could you call him? She was glad he would be gone the day after to-morrow. She was even more glad his nose was bleeding and his eye bunged up and his important blazer all bloodied. Girl though she was, there ran a fiercer strain in her than in Roy. As they moved off, she had an inspiration. She was given that way.
The adjective was emphasised, for none knew better than Jeff that the foothills harboured queer folk. The boy nodded. "You must get a buggy, sonny." "A buggy? Anything else? As if buggies grew in the brush-hills!" Just then Jeff's sanguine complexion turned grey, and his eyes seemed to slip back into his head.

As those words have gone into oblivion, so should the majority of our English adjectives follow them. I have forgotten to tell the patient I have been sitting up with. It is the adjective 'tasty. Years ago Mrs. Boyzy set her foot down on this word, and as in duty bound, I also set my foot down.

Already our presence has been infinitely beneficial in allaying animosities and in pointing out abuses. If it had been the case that the country was tranquil, his adjective would have been singularly appropriate, but not precisely in the sense he meant to convey. But there was no tranquillity, miraculous or otherwise.
She had long been in the habit of referring to Diantha as "my little girl." Of late she had fancied that her listeners looked amused at her choice of a qualifying adjective. "It's such a pity," she answered in her softest voice, "for a child to grow that way. People expect so much more of tall children." "Well, girls often get their growth by the time they're Diantha's age. Let's see.
