rs_; talks of _Scratchi_ [Gracchi],
_Horsi_ [Horatii], a _study of horses_, and so on. Being resolved to
judge between the rival scholarship of an Oxford pedant and a captain
in the army, he gets both to speak Greek before him. Gradus, the
scholar, quotes two lines of Greek, in which the _panta_ occurs four
times. "Pantry!" cries the old slop-seller; "you can't impose upon me.
I know _pantry_ is not Greek." The captain tries English fustian, and
when Gradus maintained that the words are English, "Out upon you for
a jackanapes," cries the old man; "as if I didn't know my own mother
tongue!" and gives his verdict in favor of the captain.

_Elizabeth Doiley_, daughter of the old slop-seller, in love with
Captain Granger. She and her cousin Charlotte induce the Oxford
scholar to dress like a _beau_ to please the ladies. By so doing he
disgusts the old man, who exclaims, "Oh, that I should ever had been
such a dolt as to take thee for a man of larnen'!" So the captain wins
the race at a canter.--Mrs. Cowley, _Who's the Dupe_?

of Tom Thumb, and opposes his marriage with her daughter Huncamunca;
but when Noodle announces that the red cow has devoured the pigmy
giant-queller, she kills the messenger for his ill-tidings, and is
herself killed by Frizaletta. Queen Dollalolla is jealous of the
