Montez, Lola [pages:6]
North, William [pages:95,121,154]

Gunn mentions seeing William North in the Lantern office on three occasions: April 22, May 20, and July 1, 1852. On all three occasions, Fitz-James O'Brien was also there (95, 121, 154). The April 22nd meeting may have been Gunn's first encounter with North, as he states, "[p]resently came in one North, writer, Democrat, Metaphysician and World-Betterer" (95). On May 20th, Frank Bellew also accompanied North and O'Brien (121).

O'Brien, Fitz-James [pages:38, 79, 83, 95, 102-103, 121, 154]

Gunn provides his opinion of O'Brien: "North & O'Brien at the Office. O'Brien's a snob (154)."
