Note
A comparative built on an adjective that usually refuses one: very in its literary sense of "true, real, actual" is normally not compared at all. Here it is, and the effect is emphatic rather than measured. A verier scoundrel is more truly a scoundrel, not a bigger one. Keep it apart from the adverb very, which intensifies other words and has no comparative. This form stands directly before a noun.
