I agree with our assessment that if you're going to use such words, they might have been used more cleverly.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets curious about these things. The pictures are wonderful and will help me remember. I'm happy to say I guessed lacrimator from my back ground in health care- although I am surprised that such a device exists to irritate the eye!

The really sad part is that it wasn't until after I finished reading the book that I put two and two together and realized that the author was talking about Opera Garnier - the one made famous in Phantom of the Opera!DNAPLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13604877399252352202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489353501710980196.post-66036603464003048022014-02-19T11:14:43.856-05:002014-02-19T11:14:43.856-05:00Thanks!
