I loved the vocabulary in this book...especially those words that were in use during the 20s and 30s that aren't popular anymore (or the meanings have changed). In the first chapter, Miss Pettigrew thinks, "Whoever was in charge here was a slut." I much prefer the older meaning of a messy person to today's meaning. In chapter 2, the author uses the word "osculation", which I had to look up - the act of kissing. New favorite word! Are there any words that stood out to you in the book?
