Scriptorium: writing room in a monastery. Dr. Murray and lexicographers work to catalog all the words of the English language. Wish I had been there!

Second time through: so many new details to notice. It’s a bit sadder than I recalled since I am focused on the character of Esme instead of the fascinating words.

Esme, now in trouble: vulgar words more than ink on a slip.

Esme and her father and dead mother Lily… so interesting, built around the story of the dictionary’s formulation. I would like to work with words like a lexicographer !!!

I love this already. “Bondmaid” is the first lost word, I think. The child narrator makes the story better.
