Quandary Resolution 1540
meretricious, nief, inchoate, casuistry
By a form of sartorial casuistry her inchoate mind assured itself that a nief or neif (she never could decide, was it i before e or e before i?) such as herself - a virtual peon born and bred - might achieve social advancement only in direct proportion to the meretricious glitz of her impedimenta of jumbo baubles.
