ADVERBS USED AS ADJECTIVES.

169. By a convenient brevity, adverbs are sometimes used as
adjectives; as, instead of saying, "the one who was then king," in
which _then_ is an adverb, we may say "the _then_ king," making _then_
an adjective. Other instances are,--

My _then_ favorite, in prose, Richard Hooker.--RUSKIN.

Our _sometime_ sister, now our queen.--SHAKESPEARE
