This book makes me giggle and I think Nabokov probably did the same writing it. 160: “It was a bitter wait, and the only effect that the bottle of champagne I drank all alone now at this window, now at that, had on me was a bad /crapula/ (hangover).”
Another good one on pg 143: “A shiver of /alfear/ (uncontrollable fear caused by elves) ran between his shoulderblades.”
