EXERCISE 5. Define the character of the stem in the words in bold type (simple/derived/compound).
1. Superb, handsome, high-minded, priggish, high-principled, extravagantly brave - that was how others saw him, but not she. Yet she was utterly loyal.
2. Whether he was genuinely under delusions about me, I could not tell… of one thing I was certain. He was completely set in this monomania, and I did not see how we were going to distract him. He wasn’t the first old man I had seen whose monomania kept him very happy. And also – what one had always forgotten in the presenceof his preposterous and euphoric vanity – he had throughout his life been more tenacious than most of us. It wasn’t for nothing, it wasn’t simply because he was enthusiastic and vain, that he had made himself into a great scholar. There had been within him the kind of tenacity, that could hold him at the same job for sixty years.
3. He had been born reasonably luckily, but not excessively so… he had become a decently successful barrister. He had agreeable manners, but they were not at first sight the manners one would expect to make for social triumphs. He was no man-pleaser and he wasn’t over-given to respect. His humour was sarcastic…
4. I went through his actions after the first letters of criticism had come in from
American laboratories? Doing my best to rationalize them.
5. There were differences in humans – age, sex, nature, religion, politics, culture, health at the moment, mood of the moment, environment, the effect of the excitement engendered, …and prejudice, lord, prejudice… Distortion was present in every witness except, possibly, children. Every witness has a preconceived
opinion, but so has every policeman … The fact that this may be true is irrelevant, for it could as easily be half true, false, or at least, true but mistakenly interpreted, the wrong premises taken. With a policeman deductions on a false premises would lead his investigation astray from its first moment.
6. Dollie and Melpham! The two forbidden subjects of his thoughts, the constant underlying preoccupations of this depressions. If he were to tell what he sometimes believed to be Gilbert’s real part in Melpham excavations, we would indeed throw light on his dead friend’s aesthetic theories. He turned to Sir Edgar’s letter desperation.
