Gore, Mr.

Mr. Tulliver's attorney, who, as Mr. Tulliver fears, is no match for Lawyer Wakem. "Lawyer Gore… was a bald, round-featured man, with bland manners and fat hands; a game-cock that you would be rash to bet upon against Wakem. Gore was a sly fellow; his weakness did not lie on the side of scrupulosity: but the largest amount of winking, however significant, is not equivalent to seeing through a stone wall."
