+
+<p class="entry"><span class="def">quill</span>, <span class="pos">n.</span> An
+implement of torture yielded by a goose and commonly wielded by an ass. This

+<p class="entry"><span class="def">quixotic</span>, <span class="pos">adj.</span> Absurdly
+chivalric, like Don Quixote. An insight into the beauty and excellence of this
+incomparable adjective is unhappily denied to him who has the misfortune to
+know that the gentleman’s name is pronounced Ke-ho-tay.</p>
+
+<div class="poem">
+<p class="poetry">When ignorance from out of our lives can banish Philology, ‘tis folly to know Spanish.</p>

+<p class="entry"><span class="def">quorum</span>, <span class="pos">n.</span> A
+sufficient number of members of a deliberative body to have their own way and

+act of repeating erroneously the words of another. </p>
+
+<div class="poem">
+<p class="poetry">The words erroneously repeated.</p>

+<p class="poetry">Then made a solemn vow that we would be</p>
+<p class="poetry">Condemned eternally. Ah, me, ah, me!</p>
+<p class="citeauth">Stumpo Gaker</p>
+</div>
+
+<p class="entry"><span class="def">quotient</span>, <span class="pos">n.</span> A

+contained in the pocket of another—usually about as many times as it can be got there.</p>
