Arcane Apologist's Argots

Advocate Arriyappa's abode aquisition story is quite apocryphal, albeit august. The advocate, an avid reader, audacious speaker and an abysmal singer was astute and also full of avarice. People had ambivalent feelings towards him. As the story goes, on a fine azure day, the advocate admonished his adjutants in an acerbic tone to be more careful in handling his appurtenance, when one of them broke his new apothecary table. It seems, he knew at that moment that a change of abode was the need of the hour. The adventitious incident was followed by an aggrandized search for a new abode. Nobody could allay or assuage him. Though people tried to allude him, it only led to increased asperity and from then on things went awry. The advocate searched and searched for days non-stop making him look asinine and his subordinates took to avocation during his house-hunt. During the ten days he spent on the lookout, he wore an atavistic and abjected look. When he finally found his dream abode, he averred to his subordinates with alacrity. The abode had an amazing arboretum and some antiquated, antediluvian antiques. The advocated avowed to hold an aria every year in his new abode with him being the singer. His antics were adverted to but never affronted. People grew fond of him and the amity accrued.
