Oh little verity, what do we call this again?
Wouldn't say obsession but far more of a description than curiosity.
Reading books is fine but not a dictionary. It's definite that is my words against the air.
Here she goes again, relaxed with another edition of the Oxford Dictionary. For a 10-year-old kid, Verity is sure more advanced in knowledge than most adults and it's evident the very moment she opens her mouth and speaks in that British fluent English voice.
I knew a young lady once whose parents forced her to read the dictionary from beginning to end; recite definition of each word; then use it in a sentence. She told me that she cried and hated her parents.
By the time she finished high school, she was well on her way to a college scholarship and well versed. Only then did she thank them for their purported cruelty.
Nicely done your interpretation. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
That was a tough one, its good it all ended well for her.
Thank you ma'am βΊοΈ
What shall I say? Abook is a book and should be read. You never know what is hidden inside.
