=Walde´grave= (2 _syl._), leader of the British forces which joined the Hurons in extirpating the Snake Indians, but he fell in the fray (pt. i. 18). _Julia Waldegrave_, wife of the above. She was bound to a tree with her child by some of the Indians during the attack. Outalissi, a Snake Indian, unbound them, took them home, and took care of them; but the mother died. Her last request was that Outalissi would carry her child to Albert of Wy´oming, her friend, and beg him to take charge of it. _Henry Waldegrave_, the boy brought by Outalissi to Albert. After staying at Wyoming for three years, his English friends sent for him (he was then 12 years old). When grown to manhood, he returned to Wyoming, and was married to Gertrude; but three months afterwards Outalissi appeared, and told them that Brandt was coming with his English soldiers to destroy the village. Both Albert and Gertrude were shot in the attack; and Henry joined the army of Washington.--Campbell, _Gertrude of Wyoming_ (1809). =Waldemar Fitzurse= (_Lord_), a baron following Prince John of Anjou (brother of Richard Cœur de Lion).--Sir W. Scott, _Ivanhoe_ (time, Richard I.). =Waldstetten= (_The countess of_), a relative of the baron. He is one of the characters in Donnerhugel’s narrative.--Sir W. Scott, _Anne of Geierstein_ (time, Edward IV.). =Walk= (_Knave_) is meant for colonel Hewson, generally called “Walk, Knave, Walk,” from a tract written by Edmund Gayton, to satirize the party, and entitled _Walk, Knaves, Walk_.--S. Butler, _Hudibras_ (1663-78). =Walker= (_Dr._), one of the three great quacks of the eighteenth century, the others being Dr. Rock and Dr. Timothy Franks. Goldsmith, in his _Citizen of the World_, has a letter (lxviii.) wholly upon these three worthies (1759). _Walker_ (_Helen_), the prototype of Jeanie Deans. Sir W. Scott caused a tombstone to be erected over her grave in Irongray churchyard, Kirkcudbright [_Ke.koo´.bry_]. _Walker_ (_Hookey_), John Walker, outdoor clerk to Longman, Clementi and Co., Cheapside. He was noted for his hooked nose, and disliked for his official duties, which were to see that the men came and left at the proper hour, and that they worked during the hours of work. Of course, the men conspired to throw discredit on his reports; and hence when any one draws the “long-bow,” the hearer exclaims, “Hookey Walker!” as much as to say, “I don’t believe it.” =Walking Gentleman= (_A_). Thomas Colley Grattan published his _Highways and Byeways_ under this signature (1825).
