[rapa]

Have you ever run across any of these words or terms in your reading? "Moseyer" shared this on FB this morning and it made me smile. I do love words!

Thank you for the list.  I still enjoy English Lit (I have a minor in it from college) and now am in the midst of the "God is an Englishman" series by Delderfield.  He did write a bit later but places his novels in the Victorian area.  I have consumed most of the Dickens books in my lifetime and here is an interesting article on how Dickens' words have crept into common usage over the years.  http://atkinsbookshelf.wordpress.com/2012/02/12/words-invented-by-d...

Moseyer?  That sounds like a name I remember from Eons.  Is that person from Eons?

Indeed, Moseyer was a long time member of Eons. Her first name is Sue.

Last night I got to thinking about another long time Eons BOOKOHOLIC, "Jane Frances." Did a Google and found out that Jane Frances passed away this past New Year's Eve at the age of 93 in Mississippi. For 63 years she had played the organ every Sunday at her Catholic church. If you remember, she was a world traveler, computer savvy and an artist. We had quite a group on Eons!
