CLOYSE _(Goody)._ A pious and exemplary dame, especially well-versed in the catechism, who, in Goodman Brown's fantasy of the witches' revel in the forest, joins him on his way thither, and croaks over the loss of her broomstick, which was "all anointed with the juice of small-age and cinquefoil and wolf's bane--" "Mingled with fine wheat and the fat of a new-born babe," says another shape.--Nathaniel Hawthorne, _Mosses from an Old Manse_ (1854). CLUB-BEARER _(The)_, Periphe'tes, the robber of Ar'golis, who murdered his victims with an iron club.--_Greek Fable_. CLUMSEY _(Sir Tunbelly_), father of Miss Hoyden. A mean, ill-mannered squire and justice of the peace, living near Scarborough. Most cringing to the aristocracy, whom he toadies and courts. Sir Tunbelly promises to give his daughter in marriage to Lord Foppington, but Tom Fashion, his lordship's younger brother, pretends to be Lord Foppington, gains admission to the family and marries her. When the real Lord Foppington arrives he is treated as an imposter, but Tom confesses the ruse. His lordship treats the knight with such ineffable contempt, that Sir Tunbelly's temper is aroused, and Tom is received into high favor.--Sheridan, _A Trip to Scarborough_ (1777). [Illustration] This character appears in Vanbrugh's _Relapse_, of which comedy the _Trip to Scarborough_ is an abridgment and adaptation. CLU'RICAUNE (3 _syl_.), an Irish elf of evil disposition, especially noted for his knowledge of hidden treasure. He generally assumes the appearance of a wrinkled old man. CLUTTERBUCK (_Captain_), the hypothetical editor of some of Sir Walter Scott's novels, as _The Monastery_ and _The Fortunes of Nigel_. Captain Clutterbuck is a retired officer, who employs himself in antiquarian researches and literary idleness. _The Abbot_ is dedicated by the "author of _Waverley_" to "Captain Clutterbuck," late of his majesty's--infantry regiment. CLYM OF THE CLOUGH ("_Clement of the Cliff_"), noted outlaw, associated with Adam Bell and William of Cloudesley, in Englewood Forest, near Carlisle. When William was taken prisoner at Carlisle, and was about to be hanged, Adam and Clym shot the magistrates, and rescued their companion. The mayor with his _posse_ went out against them, but they shot the mayor, as they had done the sheriff, and fought their way out of the town. They then hastened to London to beg pardon of the king, which was granted them at the queen's intercession. The king, wishing to see a specimen of their shooting, was so delighted at their skill that he made William a "gentleman of fe," and the other two "yemen of his chambre."--Percy, _Reliques_ ("Adam Bell," etc., I. ii. 1). CLY'TIE, a water-nymph in love with Apollo. Meeting with no return, she was changed into a sunflower, or rather a _tournesol_, which still turns to the sun, following him through his daily course.
