  • conjugal: connected with marriage or the relationship between two married people, especially their sexual relationship

    eg. Had Elizabeth's opinion been all drawn from her own family, she could not have formed a very pleasing picture of conjugal felicity or domestic comfort.

  • illiberal: not broad-minded

    eg. Her father, captivated by youth and beauty, and that appearance of good-humour which youth and beauty generally give, had married a woman whose weak understanding and illiberal mind had very early in their marriage put an end to all real affection for her.

  • querulous: often complaining, especially in a weak high voice

    eg. Mrs. Bennet was restored to her usual querulous serenity.

  • curtail: to stop something before it is finished, or to reduce or limit something

    eg. The time fixed for the beginning of their nothern tour was now fast approaching; and a fortnight only was wanting of it, when a letter arrived from Mrs. Gardiner, which at once delayed its commencement and curtailed its extent.

  • impunity: freedom from punishment or from the unpleasant results of something that has been done

    eg. I may enter his county with impunity, and rob it of a few petrified spars, without his perceiving me.

  • aquiesce: to accept or agree to something, often unwillingly

    eg. Elizabeth said no more; but her mind could not acquiesce.
