[269.]--18. plus d'une. Notice that, while the subject contains a plural idea, the verb is singular because of the influence of un.

[270.]--16. profondément. Not an exception to the rule that French adverbs are derived by adding -ment to the feminine adjective; adverbs of this type go back to past participles ending in -ée, the final e having been lost (aveuglément, commodément, conformément, etc.), or are formed on analogy with adverbs that are so derived (see Darmesteter, Historical French Grammar, p. 382).

[277.]--26. grand'chose. See note to p. 87, l. 17 (cf. also grand 'peine, l. 8).

[279.]--7. épouser... marier. Distinguish words.
