they were ordinary words here we speak about natural use of archaic words). Contemporary writers use them deliberately; the function of such words is: a) in historical novels to recreate truthfully the atmosphere of the certain period b) to parody historical novels (the number of archaic words here is great) c) to stress the character's fondness of the past (e.g. Ch.
