Literary Context (How does the Word Work):
Here he was, talking like a gentleman at large who was free to come and go and roam about the world at pleasure, when that gallant coachmaker had vowed but the night before that Miss Varden held him bound in adamantine chains; and had positively stated in so many words that she was killing him by inches, and that in a fortnight more or thereabouts he expected to make a decent end and leave the business to his mother.
Hunt for Words:
Found after looking at the Greek Myth Hephaestus (vulcanus or Mulciber) son of Hera. Then I read how he made his mom sandals that were adamantine ones. I did not know this meaning, now that's heavy stuff.
Audio/Visual: Adamantine
