=Otto=, duke of Normandy, the victim of Rollo, called “The Bloody Brother.”--Beaumont and Fletcher, _The Bloody Brother_ (1639). =Ot´uel= (_Sir_), a haughty and presumptuous Saracen, miraculously converted. He was a nephew of Ferragus or Ferracute, and married a daughter of Charlemagne. =Ouida=, an infantile corruption of Louisa. The full name is Louise de la Ramée, authoress of _Under Two Flags_ (1867), and many other novels. =Outalissi=, eagle of the Indian tribe of Onei´da, the death-enemies of the Hurons. When the Hurons attacked the fort under the command of Waldegrave (2 _syl._), a general massacre was made, in which Waldegrave and his wife was[TN-55] slain. But Mrs. Waldegrave, before she died, committed her boy, Henry, to the charge of Outalissi, and told him to place the child in the hands of Albert of Wy´oming, her friend. This Outalissi did. After a lapse of fifteen years, one Brandt, at the head of a mixed army of British and Indians, attacked Oneida, and a general massacre was made; but Outalissi, wounded, escaped to Wyoming, just in time to give warning of the approach of Brandt. Scarcely was this done, when Brandt arrived. Albert and his daughter, Gertrude, were both shot, and the whole settlement was extirpated.--Campbell, _Gertrude of Wyoming_ (1809). =Outis= (Greek for “nobody”), a name assumed by Odysseus (_Ulysses_) in the cave of Polypheme (3 _syl._). When the monster roared with pain from the loss of his eye, his brother giants demanded who was hurting him. “Outis” (_Nobody_), thundered out Polypheme, and his companions left him.--Homer, _Odyssey_. =Outram= (_Lance_), park-keeper to Sir Geoffrey Peveril.--Sir W. Scott, _Peveril of the Peak_ (time, Charles II.). =Overdees= (_Rowley_), a highwayman.--Sir W. Scott, _Guy Mannering_ (time, George II.). =O´verdo= (_Justice_), in Ben Jonson’s _Bartholomew Fair_ (1614). =Overdone= (_Mistress_), a bawd.--Shakespeare, _Measure for Measure_ (1603). =Overreach= (_Sir Giles_), Wellborn’s uncle. An unscrupulous, hard-hearted rascal, grasping and proud. He ruined the estates both of Wellborn and Allworth, and by overreaching grew enormously rich. His ambition was to see his daughter Margaret marry a peer; but the overreacher was overreached. Thinking Wellborn was about to marry the rich dowager Allworth, he not only paid all his debts, but supplied his present wants most liberally, under the delusion “if she prove his, all that is her’s is mine.” Having thus done, he finds that Lady Allworth does not marry Wellborn, but Lord Lovell. In regard to Margaret, fancying she was sure to marry Lord Lovell, he gives his full consent to her marriage; but finds she returns from church not Lady Lovell, but Mrs. Allworth.--Massinger, _A New Way to Pay Old Debts_ (1628). ⁂ The prototype of “Sir Giles Overreach” was Sir Giles Mompesson, a usurer outlawed for his misdeeds.
