=Faulkland=, the over-anxious lover of Julia [_Melville_], always fretting and tormenting himself about her whims, spirit, health, life. Every feature in the sky, every shift of the wind was a source of anxiety to him. If she was gay, he fretted that she should care so little for his absence; if she was low-spirited, he feared she was going to die; if she danced with another, he was jealous; if she didn´t, she was out of sorts.—Sheridan, _The Rivals_ (1775). =Faultless Painter= (_The_), Andrea del Sarto (1488-1630).—R. Browning, _Andrea del Sarto_. =Fauntleroy= (_Little Lord_). The story of Cedric Errol, heir to his grandfather, Lord Fauntleroy, by Frances Hodgson Burnett, has been dramatized, Elsie Leslie, a child of rare promise, taking the part of Cedric, and Kathryn Kidder that of his mother. (See ERROL). =Faun=. Tennyson uses this sylvan deity of the classics as the symbol of a drunkard. Arise and fly The reeling Faun, the sensual feast. _In Memoriam_, cxviii =Faust=, a famous magician of the sixteenth century, a native of Suabia. A rich uncle having left him a fortune, Faust ran to every excess, and when his fortune was exhausted, made a pact with the devil (who assumed the name of Mephistoph´elês, and the appearance of a little grey monk) that if he might indulge his propensities freely for twenty-four years, he would at the end of that period consign to the devil both body and soul. The compact terminated in 1550, when Faust disappeared. His sweetheart was Margheri´ta [_Margaret_], whom he seduced, and his faithful servant was Wagner. Goethê has a noble tragedy entitled _Faust_ (1798); Gounod an opera called _Faust e Margherita_ (1859) (See FAUSTUS.) =Faustus= (_Dr._), the same as Faust; but Marlowe, in his admirable tragedy, makes the doctor sell himself to Lucifer and Mephistophilis. =Favor= (_Anna_). Young Anna Favor, married to Ezra Dalton, conceives the insane idea that her baby is a changeling, and asks her husband to rake open the coals that she may lay it upon them, and the witch shall have her own. “She’ll come when she hears it crying, In the shape of an owl or bat, And she’ll bring us our darling Anna In place of her screeching brat.” The delusion is removed and her senses restored in answer to the prayer of her husband. “Now, mount and ride, my goodman, As thou lovest thy own soul! Woe’s me if my wicked fancies Be the death of Goodwife Cole!” J.G. Whittier, _The Changeling_. W. Bayle Bernard, of Boston, Mass., has a tragedy on the same subject.
