Quandary Resolution 2461
sitzfleisch, Stockholm syndrome, cuspidor, cosset
Dr. Silver tested my sitzfleisch as he operated on my tooth, holding me captive as he prattled on about his recent Bermuda vacation: I endured it only by developing something of an elective Stockholm Syndrome, an assumed sympathy for my captor in which I fantasized that I was being cossetted--treated to a great luxury--each time he gave me the opportunity to spit into the cuspidor.
