Correct, so the first word I gave you is an adjective form referring to that quality -- substitute a simple, one-word adjective for Brobdingnagian. Huge, enormous, gigantic would work; and welcome to the world of Victorian language.

If you are wondering where I came up with this word, I found it while preparing a Christmas article for the Surratt Courier on Varina Davis's description of her family's last Christmas in the Confederate White House. In her writings, she describes a thimble as being Brobdingnagian. If I am interpreting her correctly, she is referring to a gift that had been sent her by a Mr. P. after returning home to claim his proper title. She appears to be talking about the Prince of Wales. Did he visit the Davises when he toured the U.S.?
