I like the rather old-fashioned vocabulary, it reminds me of the historical novels and short stories (mostly romances and bodice-rippers) that I read in my teens. Long time ago.

I actually knew what a jabot and an armillary sphere were. Don't ask me how or why. Or what use that knowledge is, for that matter. But I do believe in reading to maintain a vocabulary. Even Google. Science-fiction rules.
