e vicar, noted for his greenness and pedantry. Being sent to sell a good horse at a fair, he bartered it for a gross of green spectacles, with copper rims and shagreen cases, of no more value than Hodge's razors (ch. xii.). _Olivia Primrose_, the eldest daughter of the doctor. Pretty, enthusiastic, a sort of Heb[^e] in beauty. "She wished for many lovers," and eloped with Squire Thornhill.
