Glossary For The Pearl

Hey guys! I have another time and work-saving scheme to help us all out! You know the glossary we have to do? Well I was thinking we could devide up the work so that each of us can find only like 1 or 2 words and then share them here. If you guys want we could devide up at lunch and then find your word(s) and post the page number, definition, and quote here! It would save all of us a lot of work, and I think we should do it! (plus, she said we could!)
Well, that's my idea!
Koko
P.S. Comment if you're in!

Quote for furtive(number 8)"Then from the corner of the house came a sound so soft that it might have been simply a thought, a little furtive movement, a touch of a foot on earth, the almost inaudible purr of controlled breathing."
