A vote in support of A Casual Vacancy

6. Thank you...

I am embarrassed to not have had the sense to look it up. I always look up words I don't know when they used are in a context to which I am unaccustomed I kept thinking it was an apartment which made no sense.

I looked up "sequester" and the definition did me no good. I still feel that's the wrong name for what's going on..

Care to help me with that one?

Getting back to the book, you say it was a parish council, so this must have been in Louisiana. All the same, it seems like an unlikely topic for a book because with so many towns and so many councils, this must be daily occurrence for hundreds of people ever day.

Thank you so much for thinking about this and caring enough to help "a goofy puzzled old lady."
