I know the book I am reading is an old book. It's copyright 1934.
The words so far are (and some don't mean what you may think).
- ejaculated
- thank-offering
- hare
The book is A Man Lay Dead by Ngaio Marsh. |
Ejaculated was standard Victorian English, thank-offering is in the Bible, hare is still live for me (hare off).
More reading needed.
