| I also think that Nellie would certainly have known the medicinal use of bromides (for headaches or as a sedative), so "bromidic" doesn't seem all that far fetched to me. But Laura, I agree - I think the reason the line sounds odd to us now is the the word itself has gone out of the vocabulary, along with babbitt. |
