not because it is inconvenient."
(_a_) "The fault of vindictiveness;" "the virtue of resentment."
(_b_) Omit _(c_) "Right" cannot be used as an adjective, but
"righteous" can. (_d_) "an act of injustice."
80. "(_a_) He told his friend that (_a_) _his_ brother was surprised
that (_a_) _he_ had given so small a contribution, for (_a_) _he_ was
(_b_) (12) _a very rich man_, in spite of (_a_) _his_ recent losses
and the bad state of trade, (19) (30) compared with himself."
