Words looked up

[pegkerr]

When for some reason Delia can't join us for nightly reading from the last chapters of Sorcery and Cecelia (as tonight when she conked out before dinner with a fever) I read to Fiona from Pride and Prejudice. Tonight we interrupted to look up the following words in the dictionary:

supercilious
pedantic
complaisance
inducement
felicity
archly (as in "arch look")
insipidity
intrepidity

Ten points to the first person to figure out which chapter we were reading. Edited to add: That didn't take long! tinymich, you rule!
