CHARACTER SKETCHES OF ROMANCE,
FICTION, AND THE DRAMA.
=Skeggs= (_Miss Carolina Wilhelmina Amelia_), the companion of “Lady
Blarney.” These were two flash women, introduced by Squire Tuthill to
the Primrose family, with a view of beguiling the two eldest daughters,
who were both very beautiful. Sir William Thornhill thwarted their
infamous purpose.--Goldsmith, _Vicar of Wakefield_ (1766).
=Skeleton= (_Sam_), a smuggler.--Sir W. Scott, _Redgauntlet_ (time,
George III.).
=Sketchley= (_Arthur_), George Rose, author of _Mrs. Brown_ (her
observations on men and objects, politics and manners, etc.).
