Quandary Resolution 4125
adhibit, hallux, festinate, austral
Our small expedition to the North Pole was bedeviled by exhaustion, stormy weather and dwindling food reserves, and we were eager to beat a festinate retreat and to head in an austral direction but our guide was determined to push through, declaring nonchalantly and laughing "if you lose a finger or a hallux to frostbite, you can always get it adhibited back after you return to New York".
