Chapter Orion to Orlick of O by Brewer's Readers Handbook

Orleans (Louis duc d’), to whom the princess Joan (daughter of Louis XI.) is affianced.—Sir W. Scott: Quentin Durward (time, Edward IV.).

Orlick (Dolge), usually called “Old Orlick,” though not above five and twenty, journeyman to Joe Gargery, blacksmith. Obstinate, morose, broad-shouldered, loose-limbed, swarthy, of great strength, never in a hurry, and always slouching. Being jealous of Pip, he allured him to a cave in the marshes, bound him to a ladder, and was about to shoot him, when, being alarmed by approaching steps, he fled. Subsequently he broke into Mr. Pumblechook’s house, was arrested, and confined in the county jail. This surly, ill- conditioned brute was in love with Biddy, but Biddy married Joe Gargery.—Dickens: Great Expectations (1860).
