For Bermuda Onion's Wondrous Words Wednesday; a weekly meme where we share new (to us) words that we’ve encountered in our reading throughout the previous week.I have two words this week that I came upon in my reading of "The Wheel of Darkness" by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child:
"His two companions had already seated themselves and they rose obsequiously as he arrived." (pg 178)
"Blakcburn suddenly paused in the middle of the oenophilic ritual, the glass arrested halfway to his mouth. (pg 183)
That's all I have to share with you this week, folks... what about YOU??

Great new words! I am not an oenophile! Thanks for playing along!
I just learned oenophile a week ago. I've been up here in wine country and didn't even know that.
I probably should have recognized oenophile, but had already forgotten. You found two good ones.
