for many lovers," and eloped with Squire Thornhill. Her
father went in search of her, and on his return homeward, stopped at a
roadside inn, called the Harrow, and there found her turned out of the
house by the landlady. It was ultimately discovered that she was legally
married to the squire.--Goldsmith, _Vicar of Wakefield_ (1765).

_Olivia_, young girl who hearkens to _The Talking Oak_ in Tennyson's
poem of that name (1842).

=Olivia de Zenuga=, daughter of Don Caesar. She fixed her heart on having
Julio de Melessina for her husband, and so behaved to all other suitors
as to drive them away. Thus to Don Garcia, she pretended to be a
termagant; to Don Vincentio, who was music-mad, she professed to love a
Jew's-harp above every other instrument. At last Julio appeared, and her
"bold stroke" obtained as its reward "the husband of her choice."--Mrs.
Cowley, _A Bold Stroke for a Husband_ (1782).

=Olla=, bard of Cairbar. These bards acted as heralds.--Ossian.

=Ol'lapod= (_Cornet_), at the Galen's Head. An eccentric country
apothecary, "a jumble of physic and shooting." Dr. Ollapod is very fond
of "wit," and when he has said what he thinks a smart thing he calls
attention to it, with "He! he! he!" and some such expression as "Do you
take, good sir! do you take?" But when another says a smart thing, he
titters, and cries, "That's well! that's very well! Thank you, good sir,
I owe you one!" He is a regular rattle; details all the scandal of the
village; boasts of his achievements or misadventures; is very mercenary,
and wholly without principle.--G. Colman, _The Poor Gentleman_ (1802).

[Asterism] This character is evidently a copy of Dibdin's "Doctor
Pother" in _The Farmer's Wife_ (1780).

=Ol'lomand=, an enchanter, who persuaded Ahu'bal, the rebellious brother
of Misnar, sultan of Delhi, to try by bribery to corrupt the troops of
the sultan. By an unlimited supply of gold, he soon made himself master
of the southern provinces and Misnar marched to give him battle.
Ollomand, with 5000 men, went in advance and concealed his company in a
forest; but Misnar, apprised thereof by spies, set fire to the forest,
and Ollomand was shot by the discharge of his own cannons, fired
spontaneously by the flames: "For enchantment has no power except over
those who are first deceived by the enchanter."--Sir C. Morell [J.
Ridley], _Tales of the Genii_ ("The Enchanter's Tale," vi., 1751).

=Oluf= (_Sir_), a bridegroom who rode
