I use the adverb wickedly with deliberation; for the pallidly dusky, oval face, with the full red lips, between which rested a large yellow cigarette, and the half-closed almond-shaped eyes, possessed a beauty which might have appealed to an artist of one of the modern perverted schools, but which filled me less with admiration than horror.
His rendering of the first words I did not hear, my attention not being arrested until "but," which proved to him a truly disjunctive conjunction. "But!" he ejaculated "but!" and paused. Then came the "practical" leap into the unknown. "'But' is an adverb, qualifying 'he, showing what he is doing." Poor fellow, it was no joke to him, nor probably his fault, but that of circumstances.
Mart. 6, 7: nubit decimo viro; also Beck, as above cited. Transigitur. Properly a business phrase. The business is done up, brought to an end. So A. 34: transigite cum expeditionibus. Ultra, sc. primum maritum. So the ellipsis might be supplied. Ultra here is equivalent to longior in the next clause, as T. often puts the adverb in place of the adjective, whether qualifying or predicate.
Some he rejected altogether, others he corrected, but everywhere he made additions. Lines were drawn from the beginning, the middle, and the end of each sentence towards the margin of the paper; each line leading to an interpolation, a development, an added epithet or an adverb.
'O waly, waly, up yon bank, And waly, waly, doon yon brae. It was printed first in Jamieson's collection 1806; again in Chambers's, p. 150. The 'waly' has been by Cockney critics called Scotch for 'wail ye. The word may come from the same etymological source as 'wail, but it is a Scots adverb, indicative of the intensity of sorrow.
The Apostle was not afraid to say 'I know that I am a child of God. There are many very good people, whose tremulous, timorous lips have never ventured to say 'I know. They will say, 'Well, I hope, or sometimes, as if that was not uncertain enough, they will put in an adverb or two, and say, 'I humbly hope that I am. It is a far robuster kind of Christianity, a far truer one, ay, and a humbler one too, that throws all considerations of my own character and merits, and all the rest of that rubbish, clean behind me, and when God says, 'My son! says 'My Father; and when God calls us His children, leaps up and gladly answers, 'And we are! Do not be afraid of being too confident, if your confidence is built on God, and not on yourselves; but be afraid of being too diffident, and be afraid of having a great deal of self-righteousness masquerading under the guise of such a profound consciousness of your own unworthiness that you dare not call yourself a child of God.
How many kinds of verbs are there? `There are two, I said, and with that she was all smiles and noddings. `So there are, now. You're quite right. And what will be their names? `Verb and adverb, says I, quite haughty; and the howl that went out of her you might have heard from Cork to Galway! That was all the grammar she'd managed to teach me!"
Brookenham, with a fine emphasis on her adverb, proclaimed as she turned to meet the opening of the door and the appearance of the butler, whose announcement "Lord Petherton and Mr. Mitchett" might for an observer have seemed immediately to offer support to her changed state.
I thought it had a pitiful look somehow, that underscoring of the adverb, and seemed almost an appeal for employment. The inscription on the card was in a woman's hand, and a very pretty hand elegant but not illegible, firm and yet feminine.
"Legally" is a fine, robust adverb, which bolsters up many a fortune! Moreover, he reflected that ever since great estates and land-agents had existed, that is, ever since the origin of society, the said agents had set up, for their own use, an argument such as we find our cooks using in this present day. Here it is, in its simplicity:
