Between the acts most of them swarm out into the adjacent corridors leading to the gaming-rooms, licensed rooms these, with toy-horses ridden by tin jockeys, and another equally delusive and tempting device of the devil a game of tipsy marbles, rolling about in search of sunken saucers emblazoned with the arms of the nations of the earth.

Below this, the two Cavalier brothers, Giles and Everard Oxhead, who had sat in the oak with Charles II.

Immediately before the earl as he sat was the family escutcheon emblazoned above the mantelpiece.
It was covered with texts from the Koran, emblazoned in letters of gold, with the name of Allah inscribed upon it no less than twenty-eight thousand nine hundred times. It was the banner of the Sultan, having passed from father to son since the foundation of the imperial dynasty, and was never seen in the field unless the Grand-Seignior or his lieutenant was there in person.
Their defensive armour consisted of a helmet and half-cuirass; some of them carried a short lance as well, with which to pin their stricken foe to the ground; they all wore long cloaks adorned with shoulder-knots, and plates of silver whereon the arms of their chief were emblazoned.
