=Smell a Voice.= When a young prince had clandestinely visited the young princess brought up in the palace of the Flower Mountain, the fairy mother, Violenta, said, “I smell the voice of a man,” and commanded the dragon on which she rode to make search for the intruder.--Comtesse D’Aunoy, _Fairy Tales_ (“The White Cat,” 1682). Bottom says, in the part of “Pyramus:” I see a voice, now will I to the chink, To spy an I can hear my Thisbe’s face. Shakespeare, _Midsummer Night’s Dream_, act v. sc. 1 (1592). =Smike= (1 _syl._), a poor, half-starved, half-witted boy, the son of Ralph Nickleby. As the marriage was clandestine, the child was put out to nurse, and neither its father or mother went to see it. When about seven years old, the child was stolen by one Brooker, out of revenge, and put to school at Dotheboys Hall, Yorkshire. Brooker paid the school fees for six years, and being then transported, the payment ceased, and the boy was made a sort of drudge. Nicholas Nickleby took pity on him, and when he left, Smike ran away to join his friend, who took care of the poor half-witted creature till he died.--C. Dickens, _Nicholas Nickleby_ (1838). =Smiler=, a sheriff’s officer, in _A Regular Fix_, by J. M. Morton. =Smilinda=, a lovelorn maiden, to whom Sharper was untrue. Pope, in his eclogue called _The Basset Table_ (1715), makes Cordelia and Smilinda contend on this knotty point, “Who suffers most, she who loses at basset, or she who loses her lover?” They refer the question to Betty Lovet. Cordelia stakes her “lady’s companion, made by Mathers, and worth fifty guineas,” on the point; and Smilinda stakes a snuff-box, won at Corticelli’s in a raffle, as her pledge. When Cordelia has stated the iron agony of loss at cards, and Smilinda the crushing grief of losing a sweetheart, “strong as a footman, and as his master sweet,” Lovet awards the lady’s companion to Smilinda, and the snuff-box to Cordelia, and bids both give over, “for she wants her tea.” Of course, this was suggested by Virgil’s _Eclogue_, iii. =Smiley= (_Jim_), the champion better of Calaveras County, and owner of a trained frog.--Mark Twain, _The Jumping Frog_ (1867). =Smith= (_Henry_), _alias_ “Henry Gow,” _alias_ “Gow Chrom,” _alias_ “Hal of the Wynd,” the armorer, and lover of Catharine Glover, whom at the end he marries.--Sir W. Scott, _Fair Maid of Perth_ (time, Henry IV.) _Smith_ (_Mr._), a faithful, confidential clerk in the bank of Dornton and Sulky.--Holcroft, _The Road to Ruin_ (1792). _Smith_ (_Rainy Day_), John Thomas Smith, _Antiquary_ (1766-1833). _Smith_ (_Wayland_), an invisible farrier, who haunted the “Vale of White Horse,” in Berkshire, where three flat stones supporting a fourth, commemorate the place of his stithy. His fee was sixpence, and he was offended if more were offered him. Sir W. Scott has introduced him in _Kenilworth_ (time, Elizabeth).
