=Mark Tapley=, a serving companion of Martin Chuzzlewit, who goes out with
him to Eden, in North America. Mark Tapley thinks there is no credit in
being jolly in easy circumstances; but when in Eden he found every
discomfort, lost all his money, was swindled by every one, and was
almost killed by fevers, then indeed he felt it would be a real credit
“to be jolly under the circumstances.”--C. Dickens, _Martin Chuzzlewit_
(1843).
=Markham=, a gentleman in the train of the earl of Sussex.--Sir W. Scott,
_Kenilworth_ (time, Elizabeth).
_Markham_ (_Mrs._), pseudonym of Mrs. Elizabeth Perrose[TN-1] (born
Elizabeth Cartwright), authoress of _History of England_, etc.
=Markleham= (_Mrs._), the mother of Annie. Devoted to pleasure, she always
maintained that she indulged in it for “Annie’s sake.” Mrs. Markleham is
generally referred to as “the old soldier.”--C. Dickens, _David
Copperfield_ (1849).
=Marksman=, one of Fortunio’s seven attendants. He saw so clearly and to
such a distance, that he generally bandaged his eyes in order to temper
the great keenness of his sight.--Comtesse D’Aunoy, _Fairy Tales_
(“Fortunio,” 1682).
=Marlborough= (_The duke of_), John Churchill. He was called by Marshal
Turenne _Le Bel Anglais_ (1650-1722).
=Marlow= (_Sir Charles_), the kind-hearted old friend of Squire
Hardcastle.
