Quandary Resolution 554
cothurnal, selcouth, felicitous, enjoin
Because the teacher felt that the infelicitous outcomes in Edward Gorey’s Gashlycrumb Tinies – a selcouth exploration of juvenile demise – made it unsuitable for production as an elementary school play, she enjoined her young pupil Igor from circulating the idea among his classmates, squashing his hopes of directing the project and darkening his already cothurnal demeanor in those last few days of his life, before he was masticated by a macaw.
