Subject: Swooners? Date: Sun, 27 Aug 2006 02:54:01 -0700 From: Aris Fioretos <aris.fioretos@T-ONLINE.DE> To: NABOKV-L@LISTSERV.UCSB.EDU I'm about to complete a new Swedish translation of "Lolita." There's one word the meaning of which still eludes me. In the last chapter of Part One, Humbert refers to some items of clothing that he has just purchased. What, pray, are "swooners"? None of the dictionaries I've consulted have been able to offer any help. AFio
