lief - gladly
pother - commotion

I'm glad to see that any attempts at comstockery (just got this word!) have been put to rest.

It's a shame that natation has made you have to go back to fuscous hair Silver. But I bet Mr. still thinks you're fulgurant!

I kind of wonder about the actual usage of those last two. I bet fulgurant actually only applies to shiny objects, not people.
