If a person's name is preceded by an adjective (as in 'sly Harry'), should the adjective be preceded by an article? For instance, in the sentence 'But [?] sly Harry used his influence...' should there be a zero article or a definite article before "sly"?
Same question, only with 'participle' instead of 'adjective' (as in 'sleeping Harry' or 'disgruntled Harry'). 'I glanced at [?] sleeping Harry' or '[?] disgruntled Harry was sitting apart from the group'. I know an indefinite article is used in this case if the object is mentioned for the first time, but what about the second time? Thanks in advance.
