_Count Albert of Geierstein_, brother of Arnold Biederman, disguised (1) as the black priest of St. Paul’s; (2) as president of the secret tribunal; (3) as monk at Mont St. Victoire. _Anne of Geierstein_, called “The Maiden of the Mist,” daughter of Count Albert, and baroness of Arnheim. _Count Heinrich of Geierstein_, grandfather of Count Arnold. _Count Williewald of Geierstein_, father of Count Arnold.—Sir W. Scott, _Anne of Geierstein_ (time, Edward IV.). =Geislaer= (_Peterkin_), one of the insurgents at Liège [_Le.aje_].—Sir W. Scott, _Quentin Durward_ (time, Edward IV.). =Geith= (_George_), a model of untiring industry, perseverance, and moral courage. Undaunted by difficulties, he pursued his onward way, and worked as long as breath was left him.—Mrs. Trafford [Riddell], _George Geith_. =Gelert=, Llewellyn’s favorite hound. One day, Llewellyn returned from hunting, when Gêlert met him smeared with gore. The chieftain felt alarmed, and instantly went to look for his baby son. He found the cradle overturned, and all around was sprinkled with gore and blood. He called his child, but no voice replied, and thinking the hound had eaten it, he stabbed the animal to the heart. The tumult awoke the baby boy, and on searching more carefully, a huge wolf was found under the bed, quite dead. Gêlert had slain the wolf and saved the child. And now a gallant tomb they raise, With costly sculpture decked; And marbles, storied with his praise. Poor Gêlert’s bones protect. Hon. W.R. Spencer, _Beth Gêlerts_ (“Gêlerts Grave”). ⁂ This tale, with a slight difference, is common to all parts of the world. It is told in the _Gesta Romanorum_ of Follicŭlus, a knight, but the wolf is a “serpent,” and Folliculus, in repentance, makes a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. In the sanskrit version, given in the _Pantschatantra_ (A.D. 540), the tale is told of the brahmin Devasaman, an “ichneumon” and “black snake” taking the places of the dog and the wolf. In the Arabic version by Nasr-Allah (twelfth century), a “weasel” is substituted for the dog; in the Mongolian _Uligerun_ a “polecat;” in the Persian _Sindibadnâmeh_, a “cat;” and in the _Hitopadesa_ (iv. 3), an “otter.” In the Chinese _Forest of Pearls from the Garden of the Law_, the dog is an “ichneumon,” as in the Indian version (A.D. 668). In Sandabar, and also in the Hebrew version, the tale is told of a dog. A similar tale is told of Czar Piras of Russia; and another occurs in the _Seven Wise Masters_. =Gel´latly= (_Davie_) idiot servant of the baron of Bradwardine (3 _syl._). _Old Janet Gellatly_, the idiot’s mother.—Sir W. Scott, _Waverley_ (time, George II.). ⁂ In some editions the word is spelt “Gellatley.” =Geloi´os.= Silly laughter personified. Geloios is slain by Encra´tês (_temperance_) in the battle of Mansoul. (Greek, _gĕloios_, “facetious”).
