1. Frustration
   Hunger
2. Desire
   Mixed feelings

Expressing appetency is another way of saying that you feel a longing or a desire. Your grandfather wouldn't be your grandfather if there weren't any appetency during the first phase of their relationship.

1. Affright
   Fandangled
2. Enamored
   Loathly

If your grandfather had written this letter, the word would have been smitten. Smitten is the very opposite of smiting. Being smitten with someone means that you're totally enamored.

1. A piece of jewelry
   A lock of hair
2. A dowry
   A feather

Bijou is a word that originates in Brittany — an inhabited area in the northwestern part of France. If your grandmother were accepting a bijou, she would be the new owner of a small trinket or piece of jewelry.

1. Chipper
   Forgetful
2. Grumpy
   Clumsy

Grandma is a human being, too. What human really likes mornings? Even though she might have been a little froward, or grumpy, in the mornings, she was polite enough to give your granddad a heads-up.

1. Dizzy
   Excited
2. Lonely
   Loved

It must have been one magical kiss! The first kiss between your grandmother and your grandfather left your grandmom feeling dizzy. You'll want to add zwodder to your vocabulary now, won't you?

1. An overprotective parent
   An angry soul
2. A competitive person
   A man who has a high opinion of himself

Before introducing your great-grandfather to your future granddad, your grandma wanted to warn him about his over-inflated opinion of himself. Or, instead of cockalorum, she could have said that he was slightly nithing.

1. Drama
   Nonsense
2. Childish
   Boring

When your grandmother compared her previous dates to your grandfather, she was saying that they all felt like trivial nonsense in comparison. Take a lesson from her; no one needs to be in a relationship that feels like piffle.

1. It means he'll pray about it.
   I think he means he'll stay busy until they meet again.
2. It means that he will cry over it.
   It could mean that he'll find out how far apart they are.

Ahh, young love! Being forced to be apart is enough to make star-crossed lovers cry over it, lament about it or plain over it. Your grandparents must have spent hours pining for one another!

1. Big
   Cold
2. Cruel
   Underwhelming

When you've found your true love, sunshine seems brighter and birds chirp louder. It's not unusual for the world to feel warmer when you have a special someone by your side. Here, your grandpa used the word "schnikked" to describe the feeling of coldness he felt without his main squeeze.

1. Breathless
   Lost in a daydream
2. Hopeful for the future
   Depressed by the longing

Obviously, your grandparents had a physical relationship, too. Otherwise, you wouldn't be taking this quiz. Your grandmother used the word "purfled" to express the breathless feeling your grandad's handholding always left her with.

1. Incontinent
   Toothless
2. Senile
   Fat

If your grandparents' love letters show anything at all, it's that they were fully committed to one another from day one. By using the word "batten," they promised to love each other even when they got older and fattened up.

1. A club
   A movie
2. A beach
   A nice meal

Your grandparents probably enjoyed a few dozen bouffages and long walks before taking their relationship to the next level. Bouffage is an old-timey French word that means a nice meal.

1. Romantic gestures
   Clueless look
2. Gushing enthusiasm
   Clingy nature

It sounds like your granddad was quite the romantic! Even the fact that he used the word quixotism to woo your grandma is adorable. She must have appreciated all his sweet gestures and notions.

1. A camel farmer
   A well-respected politician
2. A lazy person
   The black sheep

Without the aid of social media, young lovers were left to learn about their future in-laws the old-fashioned way. Here, your granddad is saying that your great uncle was a lazy person with little ambition.

1. A veil
   A ribbon
2. A barrette
   A headband

Depending on when your grandmother was born, she could have worn any one of these things in her hair. Your granddad seems to really like the ribbon, or riband, that she wore on their date, though.

1. Wish
   Song
2. Prayer
   Chant

Orison is a word that is derived from the word orate or to speak out loud. In this case, your grandmother is going to say a prayer. She wanted to see your grandfather so badly that she was willing to ask the heavens for it.

1. He's not a cheater.
   He's not going to leave her.
2. He's not lying about his feelings.
   He's not a conceited man.

Not many men would admit to being a coxcomb, but you can spot a conceited man across a crowded room. Thankfully, your grandfather was humble and sweet when he sent letters to your grandma.

1. Sanity
   Food
2. Medicine
   Encouragement

Your grandfather was waxing a little poetic with this line! When he says that your grandmom is an "aliment for his soul," he means that she is the food or nourishment that he needs. Awww!

1. Tall and lanky
   Silly and flirtatious
2. Studious and intellectual
   Short and curvy

Lighten up! Your grandmother certainly did when she was dating your pops. When she described herself as a fizgig, it was her way of saying that he makes her feel silly and flirtatious.

1. She's saying that she's been useless.
   She's saying that she's been barefoot.
2. I think Grandma was saying that she's been extremely smitten.
   It's her way of saying she's been having naughty thoughts.

We're hoping that your grandfather didn't leave your grandmother out in the cold in her bare feet! Saying that she's been bootless since meeting him means that she's been unable to function normally and feels quite useless.

1. He takes them to heart.
   I think it means that he cherishes her words.
2. It means that he shares them with friends.
   He memorizes them.

How sweet! Your grandfather loved receiving your granny's letters so much that he read them again and again until he memorized them. Back in their day, con wasn't such a bad word.

1. Destiny
   Life
2. Heart
   Domain

Look at your grandmother using all these big, fancy words! You probably already knew she was smart, but using the word demesne instead of domain is the stuff of literary giants. Go, Granny!

1. His date to a dance
   His sweetheart
2. His penpal
   His bowling partner

Look at grandpa finally getting up the nerve to make a commitment! When he asked your grandma to be his leman, he was looking to make it official. Upon agreeing, she was known as his sweetheart from then on out.

1. In a month
   Tomorrow
2. Next year
   In a week

Even a moment apart from your one true love can feel like an eternity. Your grandma and grandpa would have had to wait for seven whole days to be together again if they agreed to meet in a sennight.

1. Sleep soundly
   Focus on tasks
2. Get him out of her mind
   Eat a lot

All those crazy chemicals that love sends coursing into our systems can throw us off our daily routines. When grandma says that she cannot guttle, she is without the ability to stuff herself full of food.

1. Through the wringer
   Through the looking glass
2. Through the gates of heaven
   To the dark side

You can't get much more romantic than telling someone that they've taken your heart through the welkin. Back in their day, welkin was the word used to describe the passage through the gates of heaven.

1. Every evening
   At midnight
2. At noon
   Every morning

Just as the sun is setting and dusk is taking over the world, you are experiencing the time of day that your grandparents called eventide. Your grandmother loved to think of your granddad as she watched the sun go down.

1. A bore
   A burden
2. An old woman
   A doxy

We're sure your grandfather meant well when he told your grandmother that she would never be an old woman to him. It was his rather less-than-eloquent way of saying that she will always be young in his heart.

1. Their next meeting
   Their conversation
2. Their next kiss
   Their next dance

A kiss was not just a kiss back during your grandparents' day. A kiss, or a buss, was a much less casual affair back then. They might have waited for months before finally locking lips.

1. An arcade
   A churchyard
2. A public park
   A local restaurant

It wasn't uncommon for dates to be held in public during your grandparents' day. During this invitation, your grandfather is suggesting that he and your grandma meet at the churchyard. Maybe they heard wedding bells while they were there!

1. Sweet
   Wealthy
2. Tall
   Attractive

Telling your grandfather that he was a goodly man was quite the flirtatious comment. Goodly can mean attractive or virtuous. We're betting that she meant both when she was talking about your pops.

1. A scarf
   A happy man
2. A bubble bath
   A fancy dish

We're sure your grandma drew a few bubble baths for your grandpa after they were beyond the letter-writing phase. When she's promised to make him a kickshaw, she's offering to make food for him, though.

1. A janitor
   A psychiatrist
2. A safecracker
   A shop owner

Perhaps, your granddad's heart was a little guarded before your grandma swept him off his feet. In this letter, he's saying that she's managed to steal his heart with the precision of a professional safecracker.

1. Coward
   Jerk
2. Popinjay
   Loser

Love is not for the faint of heart! Your grandfather was accusing all your grandmother's previous dates of being cowards when he used the word poltroon. Thank goodness he was a seemingly fearless man, or you wouldn't be answering these questions.

1. The flu
   Lead poisoning
2. The vapors
   An unfulfilled need

Lead was not as highly regulated back in your grandparents' day as it is now. Although we're fairly sure your grandmother never suffered from it, it was an adorable way of saying that he makes her feel flighty with love.
