_Lady Tremor_, daughter of a grocer, and grandchild of a wig-maker. Very sensitive on the subject of her plebeian birth, and wanting to be thought a lady of high family.--Mrs. Inchbald, _Such Things Are_ (1786). =Tremydd ap Tremhidydd=, the man with the keenest sight of all mortals. He could discern “a mote in the sunbeam in any of the four quarters of the world.” Clustfein ap Clustfeinydd was no less celebrated for his acuteness of hearing, “his ear being distressed by the movement of dew, in June, over a blade of grass.” The meaning of these names is, “Sight, the son of Seer,” and “Ear, the son of Hearer.”--_The Mabinogion_ (“Notes to Geraint,” etc., twelfth century). =Trenmor=, great-grandfather of Fingal, and king of Morven (north-west of Scotland). His wife was Inibaca, daughter of the king of Lochlin or Denmark.--Ossian, _Fingal_, vi. In _Temora_, ii. he is called the first king of Ireland, and father of Conar. =Trent= (_Fred_), the scapegrace brother of little Nell. “He was a young man of one and twenty, well-made, and certainly handsome, but dissipated, and insolent in air and bearing.” The mystery of Fred Trent and little Nell is cleared up in ch. lxix.--C. Dickens, _The Old Curiosity Shop_ (1840). =Tres= (_Scriptores_): Richardus Corinensis, or Richard of Cirencester (fourteenth century); Gildus Badonicus; and Nennius Banchorensis; published by Professor Bertram (1757). =Tresham= (_Mr._), senior partner of Mr. Osbaldistone, Sr.--Sir W. Scott, _Rob Roy_ (time, George I.). _Tresham_ (_Richard_), same as General Witherington, who first appears as Matthew Middlemas. _Richard Tresham_, the son of General Witherington. He is also called Richard Middlemas.--Sir W. Scott, _The Surgeon’s Daughter_ (time, George II.). _Tresham_ (_Thorold, Lord_), head of a noble family, whose boast was, that “no blot had ever stained their ’scutcheon,” though the family ran back into pre-historic times. He was a young, unmarried man, with a sister, Mildred, a girl of 14, living with him. His near neighbor, Henry, earl of Mertoun, asked permission to pay his addresses to Mildred, and Thorold accepted the proposal with much pleasure. The old warrener next day told Thorold he had observed for several weeks that a young man climbed into Mildred’s chamber at night-time, and he would have spoken before, but did not like to bring his young mistress into trouble. Thorold wrung from his sister an acknowledgement of the fact, but she refused to give up the name, yet said she was quite willing to marry the earl. This Thorold thought would be dishonorable, and resolved to lie in wait for the unknown visitor. On his approach, Thorold discovered it was the earl of Mertoun, and he slew him, then poisoned himself, and Mildred died of a broken heart.--Robert Browning, _A Blot on the ’Scutcheon_.
