sus esperanzas. 13. El dinero sobre el cual contaba. 14. Los generos para los cuales se dio (was given) la orden. 15. ?Es el quien lo quiere y a cuyo hijo (_or_ al hijo de quien) V. conoce? EXERCISE 2 (26). Translate into Spanish-- 1. He who robs you of (roba) money robs you of little, but he who denies you a debt of well-deserved gratitude robs you of more, which is obvious. 2. Those who deny this (nieguen, (_subj._)) have not experienced how (cuan) painful is the sting of ingratitude. 3. Those who do good should do it expecting ingratitude for (por) their reward, then they will not be disappointed. 4. It is a truth than which no bitterer exists. 5. The steamer I have bought is a first-class boat. 6. The little (pequena) house I paid for. 7. The firm I made mention of enjoys good credit. 8. I wonder (me pregunto yo) if this is the engineer whose son is a lawyer. 9. Their market is very slack at present, which accounts for (explica) the want of their remittances. 10. I acquainted them with all the facts, which made them very cautious. 11. We are acquainted with Mr. McIntyre (conocemos al), who is a Scotchman. 12. He is only an acquaintance (un conocido _or_ un conocimiento). LESSON XIV. (Leccion decima cuarta.) INTERROGATIVE PRONOUNS AND ADJECTIVES.

(whose?) ?Cuanto,-a,-os,-as? (how much, how many?) [Footnote 103: "De quien" is more usual than "Cuyo" in interrogations.] _Cual_ when interrogative is used without the definite article which must accompany it when it is a relative pronoun. _Quien_, interrogative, is never an adjective. EXAMPLES-- ?Quien vino a verme? Who came to see me? ?Cual arreglo le gusta a V. mas? Which arrangement do you prefer? ?Cuyo es este lapiz? Whose is this pencil? _or_ Whose ?Cuyo lapiz es este? pencil is this? ?De quien es este lapiz? ?De quien recibio V. la consignacion de madera? From whom did you receive the consignment of timber? ?A quienes nos refieren Vs. para informes? To whom do you refer us for information? ?Cuanto me cobrara V.? How much will you charge me? _Cual_ (which) is often used instead of
