I’d rather be Hortense than Duane.

I knew a woman named Drocas once.

Dorcas is a Biblical name. I have no idea where Hortense originated.

I always thought that it was spelled “Dorkus”.

It is spelled “Dorkus”. Duane is his nickname.

Dorcas; a character fron stranger in a strange land

How do you get a Hortense? Don’t pay her!
