Quandary Resolution 776
affranchise, ambilevous, Panglossian, coquetry
Maladroit Miss Lang's ambilevous habit of dropping priceless artifacts, not to mention a girlish coquettishness hideous in a woman of sixty (especially one with mesmerizingly crooked, brownish teeth) caused the Archaeology Department to affranchise her in order that she might be able to pursue a career more suited to her temperament, although what that might be was something not even the most Panglossian of her colleagues could imagine.
