Find the definition that makes the most sense to you for each of these words. Most of them have at least one definition that's fairly easy to understand.
If you get stuck on a couple, please post them and the definitions you found, and we'll be glad to help you understand them.
I am reading the book Great Expectations by Dickens and need help with the following: I need definitions for these words:

All right, thank you, I'll go do that now and I'll repost if there's anything I can't find. Thanks Ms. Sue
You're welcome.
Thanks again, that was a remarkable site! Before I was on the Merrium-Webster site, but Dictionary site's way better. I found everything I needed!
Great! I'm glad you found it useful! Yay!
