Quandary Resolution 641
sedulous, transmontane, Augean stable, lacuna
Henry’s relationship with his mother was dominated by a lacuna, the result of her periodically disappearing, for months at a time, to some mysterious, transmontane life; when she died, he began to clean out the Augean stable she’d left him (a large house cluttered floor-to-ceiling with detritus accumulated over a lifetime), hoping, by this sedulous project, to finally learn who she had been during those absences on the other side of the mountain.
