401 EVERY ONE HAS HIS FAULT 
 
 
The duke tried to seduce her, but failing 
in this scandalous attempt, offered to 
give her to any' one for a month, at the 
end of which time the libertine was to 
suffer death. No one would accept the 
offer, and ultimately Evanthý was restored 
to her husband.-Beaumont and Fletcher, 
A Wife for a Month (1624). 
 
  Eve (1 syl), or Havah, the "mother of 
all living" (Gen. iii. 20). Before the ex- 
pulsion from paradise her name was Ishah, 
because she was taken out of ish, i.e. 
"man" (Gen. ii. 23). 
  Eve was of such gigantic statue that when she 
laid her head on one hill near Mecca, her knees 
rested on two other hills in the plain, about two 
gun-shots asunder. Adam was as tall as a palm 
tree.-Moncony, Voyage, i. 372, etc. 
 
  Ev'eli'na (4 syl.), the heroine of a novel 
so called by Miss Burney (afterwards Mine. 
D'Arblay). Evelina marries Lord Orville 
(1778). 
 
  Evelyn   (Alfred), the secretary and 
relative of Sir John Vesey. He made Sir 
John's speeches, wrote his pamphlets, got 
together his facts, mended his pens, and 
received no salary. Evelyn loved Clara 
Douglas, a dependent of Lady Franklin, 
but she was poor also, and declined to 
marry him. Scarcely had she refused him, 
when he was left an immense fortune and 
proposed to Georgina Vesey. What little 
heart Georgina had was given to Sir 
Frederick Blount, but the great fortune 
of Evelyn made her waver; however, being 
told that Evelyn's property was insecure, 
she married Frederick, and left Evelyn 
free to marry Clara.-Lord E. Bulwer 
Lytton, Money (1840). 
 
  Evelyn (Sir George) a man of fortune, 
family, and character, in love with Dorril- 
lon, whom  he marries.-Mrs. Inchbald,

  Everard   (Colonel Markham), of the 
Commonwealth party. 
  Master Everard, the colonel's father.-

wealth).

the "Popish Plot."-Sir W. Scott, Peveril 
of the Peak (time, Charles II.). 
 
  Every Man in His Humor, a comedy 
by Ben Jonson (1598). The original play 
was altered by David Garrick. The per- 
sons to whom the title of the drama apply 
are : "Captain Bobadil," whose humor is 
bragging of his brave deeds and military 
courage-he is thrashed as a coward by 
Downright; "Kitely," whose humor is 
jealousy of his wife-he is befooled and 
cured by a trick played on him by Brain- 
worm; " Stephen," whose humor is ver- 
dant stupidity-he is played on by every 
one; "Kno'well," whose humor is suspi- 
cion of his son Edward, which turns out 
to be all moonshine; "Dame Kitely," 
whose humor is jealousy of her husband, 
but she (like her husband) is cured by a 
trick devised by Brainworm. Every man 
in his humor is liable to be duped there- 
by, for his humor is the "Achilles' heel" 
of his character. 
 
  Every Man out of His Humor, a 
comedy by Ben Jonson (1599). 
 
  Every One has His Fault, a comedy 
by Mrs. Inchbald (1794). By the fault of 
rigid pride, Lord Norland discarded his 
daughter, Lady Eleanor, because she mar- 
ried against his consent. By the fault of 
gallantry and defect of due courtesy to his 
wife, Sir Robert Ramble drove Lady
