At least yours is relatively ...plausible. The nearest book to me at this computer is *always* a dictionary of one sort or another! So I caved...
One dictionary (New Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors) gives me the entry for Karen Blixen ("Blixen, Karen (Christentze), Baroness Blixen-Finecke (1885-1962), Danish writer; also known as Isak Dinesen") - er, WTF? and the other (Colour Oxford English Dictionary, paperback) gives me the end of the definition of 'awful' (eek!) and then 'awhile'. Oh dear oh dear oh deary me.
