Frog was a cunning, sly rogue, quite reverse of John [_Bull_] in many particulars; covetous, frugal; minded domestic affairs; would pinch his belly to save his pocket; never lost a farthing by careless servants or bad debts. He did not care much for any sort of diversions, except tricks of high German artists and legerdemain; no man exceeded Nic. in these. Yet it must be owned that Nic. was a fair dealer, and in that way acquired immense riches.—Dr. Arbuthnot, _History of John Bull_, v. (1712). =Frollo= (_Claude_), an archdeacon, absorbed in a search after the philosopher’s stone.
