Beard to beard

Reading along in Miss Gostery's Guide under Links and Permalinks I found rebarbative used to characterize Permalinks and realized someone had learned entirely too much French. I shouldn't complain though rebarbative led me to the AskOxford site and a wonderful compliation of dicitonaries, OneLook.

And, for those who don't know Miss Gostrey we offer the following:

Ah it was but too visible! She read it over again as one who had never seen it. "'Mr. Lewis Lambert Strether'"--she sounded it almost as freely as for any stranger. She repeated however that she liked it--"particularly the Lewis Lambert. It's the name of a novel of Balzac's."

"Oh I know that!" said Strether.

"But the novel's an awfully bad one."

"I know that too," Strether smiled. To which he added with an irrelevance that was only superficial: "I come from Woollett Massachusetts." It made her for some reason--the irrelevance or whatever--laugh. Balzac had described many cities, but hadn't described Woollett Massachusetts. "You say that," she returned, "as if you wanted one immediately to know the worst."
