Words I never looked up from “The Three Musketeers”
- casuist - apparently one whose reasoning is suspect or false
- catafalque - no idea
- sbirri - some sort of authority in France, possibly Huguenot-related
- exordium - an introductory or explanatory passage?
- caparison - part of a horse’s decoration
- caracole - something horses do
- fauteuil - has to do with fainting, but may be furniture as well
- carbuncle - a jewel, if I remember correctly… also an esper
- soubrette - a lady’s personal servant
- quodlibet - your guess is as good as mine
- laveer - ditto
I guess I could google these, but I’m busy. Little help?
