If there was one thing on which Bugs Butler prided himself, it was footwork. The adverb "lightly" is a relative term, and the blow which had just planted a dull patch on Ginger's cheekbone affected those present in different degrees. Ginger himself appeared stolidly callous. Sally shuddered to the core of her being and had to hold more tightly to the rope to support herself.
Not a conjunction, not an adverb, must be omitted: he has a deadly antipathy to all those transpositions of which I am so fond; and, if the music of our periods is not tuned to the established, official key, he cannot comprehend our meaning. It is deplorable to be connected with such a fellow. My acquaintance with the Count C is the only compensation for such an evil.
Trollope would give the idea a decent funeral for the sake of having his adverb appear at the grave above reproach from grammatical gossip.
We know, however, that it was originally an adverb of considerable concreteness of meaning, "away, moving from," and that the syntactic relation was originally expressed by the case form of the second noun. As the case form lost its vitality, the adverb took over its function.
"Let go!" shouted Uncle Prudent; and the "Go-Ahead" rose "majestically" an adverb consecrated by custom to all aerostatic ascents. It really was a superb spectacle. It seemed as if a vessel were just launched from the stocks. And was she not a vessel launched into the aerial sea?
There seemed a dim, treacherous comfort in the adverb, and he stayed with her. "Wine and love bring a similar intoxication. You can trust that you will be able to say in time, 'I can no more.

I had my war paint on that morning, and I wasn't fit to talk to you." "Business?" she queried. "Yes. Didn't the Major tell you about it?" "Not a word. I hope you didn't quarrel with him, too?" He marked the adverb of addition and wondered if Vincent Farley had been less reticent than Major Dabney. "No; I didn't quarrel with your grandfather." "But you did quarrel with Mr.
Another fault of superfluousness we find in the number of compounded words, where the meaning is obvious, such, for instance, as are formed with the adverb out, which the genius of the language permits without limit in the case of verbs. Dr. Worcester gives us, among many others, "OUT-BABBLE, v. a. To surpass in Idle prattle; to exceed in babbling. Milton." "OUT-BELLOW, v. a.
It is a great error to think that these corruptions of language do no harm. It would hardly be believed how often a writer is compelled to a circumlocution by the single vulgarism, introduced during the last few years, of using the word alone as an adverb, only not being fine enough for the rhetoric of ambitious ignorance.
So it was evident to Alexey Alexandrovitch that he did not understand what he was saying, and that irritated him. He frowned, and began explaining what Seryozha had heard many times before and never could remember, because he understood it too well, just as that "suddenly" is an adverb of manner of action.
