he same time a great she-bear, coming up the street,
pops its head into the shop. "What! no soap?" So he died, and she
very imprudently married the barber! and there were present the
Picninnies, and the Joblillies, and the Garyulies, and the Grand
Panjandrum himself, with the little round button at top, and they
all fell to playing the game of catch as catch can, till the
gunpowder ran out at the heel of their boots.--S. Foote, _The
Quarterly Review_, xcv. 516, 517 (1854).

=Pan'ope= (3 _syl._), one of the nereids. Her "sisters" are the
sea-nymphs. Panop[^e] was invoked by sailors in storms.

Sleek Panope with all her sisters played.

Milton, _Lycidas_, 95 (1638).

=Pansy Osmund=, daughter of Mr. Osmund and Madame Merle, but ignorant who
her mother is. After her father's second marriage, the girl, who has
been brought up by the nuns, is extremely fond of her step-mother, and
when she grows under her fostering care into a lovely woman, becomes
attached to Edward Rosier, a man of small fortune. Her father, cold and
hard as stone, decrees that she shall marry an English lord, and upon
her refusal, sends her back to the convent.--Henry James, Jr., _Portrait
of a Lady_ (1881).

=Pantag'ruel'=, king of the Dipsodes (2 _syl._), son of Gargantua, and
last of the race of giants. His mother, Badebec, died in giving him
birth. His paternal grandfather was named Grangousier. Pantagruel was a
lineal descendant of Fierabras, the Titans, Goliath, Polypheme (3
_syl._), and all the other giants traceable to Chalbrook, who lived in
that extraordinary period noted for its "week of three Thursdays." The
word is a hybrid, compounded of the Greek _panta_ ("all"), and the
Hagarene word _gruel_ ("thirsty"). His immortal achievement was his
"quest of the oracle of the Holy Bottle."--Rabelais, _Gargantua and
Pantagruel_, ii. (1533).

=Pantagruel's Course of Study.= Pantagruel's father, Gargantua, said in a
letter to his son:

"I intend and insist that you learn all languages perfectly; first
of all Greek, in Quintillian's method; then Latin, then Hebrew,
then Arabic and Chaldee. I wish you to form your style of Greek on
the model of Plato, and of Latin on that of Cicero. Let there be no
history you have not at your finger's ends, and study thoroughly
cosmography and geography. Of liberal arts, such as geometry,
mathematics and music, I gave you a taste
