Rating: PG
Author's Notes: Sadly, I couldn't find an online version of the 9th edition of Britannica to verify that any of these words are actually in it.

------

Aardvark. Abu Dhabi. Acacia. Adrasteia.

It is too embarrassing to remember.

Agriculture. Aleppo. Algorithm. Amsterdam. Anatomy.

Mr. Sherlock Holmes's smile, when he told me he regretted the loss of my employee....

Andorra. Antelope. Anthrax. Anthropology.

Words that start with A will forever remind me.

Antimony. Aorta. Apologia. Atom. Australia.

I cannot bear to think of it.

Assistant. Arrested. Anger.

Ass.

Ha. I can imagine he'd never look anything up that began with an "A" again.
