VOLUME III.

M ark Tapley , a serving companion of Martin Chuzzlewit, who goes out with him to Eden, in North America. Mark Tapley thinks there is no credit in being jolly in easy circumstances; but when in Eden he found every discomfort, lost all his money, was swindled by every one, and was almost killed by fevers, then indeed he felt it would be a real credit “to be jolly under the circumstances.”—C. Dickens, Martin Chuzzlewit (1843).
Markham , a gentleman in the train of the earl of Sussex.—Sir W. Scott, Kenilworth (time, Elizabeth).
