turesque the interior of the
cabin in the glare of "lightwood" torches by night; turns men's heads
and wins children's hearts in Charles Egbert Craddock's tale, _The
Prophet of the Great Smoky Mountains_, (1885).

DORINE' (2 _syl_.), attendant of Mariane (daughter of Orgon). She
ridicules the folly of the family, but serves it faithfully. Moliere,
_Le Tartuffe_ (1664).

DORLA _(St. John_). A New York girl of great beauty and tender
conscience, who is beguiled into marrying a country lawyer because
she thinks he is dying for love of her. Having left out of sight the
possibility that a loveless union leaves room for the entrance of a
real passion, she is appalled at finding that she has slipped into an
attachment to _A Perfect Adonis_, who has principle enough to leave
her when he discovers the state of his own affections. Finding her a
widow on his return to America, he presses his suit, and finds a rival
in her only child, a spoiled baby of five or six years. Overcoming
this obstacle, he weds the mother.--Miriam Coles Harris, _A Perfect
Adonis_ (1875).

D'ORME'O, prime minister of Victor, Amade'us (4 _syl_), and also of
his son and successor Charles Emmanuel, king of Sardinia. He took his
color from the king he served; hence under the tortuous, deceitful
Victor, his policy was marked with crude rascality and duplicity;
but under the truthful, single-minded Charles Emmanuel, he became
straightforward and honest.--R. Browning, _King Victor and King
Charles, etc_.

DORMER _(Captain)_, benevolent, truthful, and courageous, candid and
warmhearted. He was engaged to Louisa Travers; but the lady was told
that he was false and had married another, so she gave her hand to
Lord Davenant.

_Marianne Dormer_, sister of the captain. She married Lord Davenant,
who called himself Mr. Brooke; but he forsook her in three months,
giving out that he was dead. Marianne, supposing herself to be a
widow, married his lordship's son.--Cumberland, _The Mysterious
Husband_ (1783).

_Dormer (Caroline)_, the orphan daughter of a London merchant, who was
once very wealthy, but became bankrupt and died, leaving his daughter
L200 a year. This annuity, however, she loses through the knavery of
her man of business. When reduced to penury, her old lover, Henry
Morland (supposed to have perished at sea), makes his appearance and
marries her, by which she becomes the Lady Duberly.--G. Coleman, _The
Heir-at-Law_ (1797).

DORNTON _(Mr.)_, a great
