Quandary Resolution 3961
purl, punctilious, slew, qualia

There was something quaint, and deeply endearing, in Wilma's devotion to a slew of old-fashioned customs, for example her punctilious purling by hand of all our linen, but after a few years of this, the lure of a faster modern life overcame my attachment to her and created in me a qualia akin to suffocation, and I ran away forever.
