My newest mystery meme: the Golden Age of Detection (GAD*) Mystery Word of the Day. Whenever I find a word that I'm unfamiliar with--or shall we say not absolutely confident I know the exact meaning of, I'm going to actually take time to look it up and share it with mystery-lovers everywhere. There will be occasional words from more modern mysteries as well. 😊
Today's GAD Mystery Word of the Day: Colloguing (verb) --to converse privately; to intrigue or conspire
Well then the landlord and Mr. Ralph was colloguing about their cricket match and Miss Geraldine, and I wasy I dunno about Miss Gerladine, but I got a brother who strikes for the St. Mary Le Bone men, likewise he's a mighty hitter or a dead stone waller whichever they fancies best; and he's got to come to Marlow on account of being left a fortune on Saturday, and if spoke to the right way and offered his beer he'd be just as like to come on here the Sunday and play for them as well.

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.
