It was late when at length he turned again into the Piazza Castello, which was brightly lit and still thronged with pleasure-seekers. As he approached, the crowd divided to make way for three or four handsome travelling-carriages, preceded by linkmen and liveried out-riders and followed by a dozen mounted equerries.
"What more will it be," said Sancho, "than having a barber, and keeping him at wages in the house? and even if it be necessary, I will make him go behind me like a nobleman's equerry." "Why, how dost thou know that noblemen have equerries behind them?" asked Don Quixote. "I will tell you," answered Sancho.
Grasica, one of Cassar's equerries, also came to Ferrara and gave a full report of the circumstances attending the death of his master, at whose interment in Pamplona he had been present.

Upwards of three thousand nobles, and a great number of ladies, all clad in mourning dresses, and attended by their pages and equerries, blended their melancholy voices with the responses of the canons of the cathedral; the bishops of the adjacent sees, and the archbishops in their rich raiment of velvet and cloth of silver, carried in their hands tapers of perfumed wax; Oriental myrrh and aloes burned in golden censers, and veiled the lofty dome with a light and diaphanous vapour which gave an unearthly aspect to the building; the organ pealed forth its deep and thrilling tones; and amid this scene of excitement, splendour, and suffering, the Cardinal de Gondy celebrated the mass, and the Bishop of Aire delivered the funeral oration.

The sight of a naked sword made him grow pale, and this weakness caused great distress to his family. In the end, the old monk ordered him in the name of God, and of his forefathers, once more to indulge in the sport's of a nobleman. The equerries diverted themselves every day with javelins and Julian soon excelled in the practice.
Four equerries, Corbineau, Berckheim, d'Audenarde, and Fouler. A superintendent-general of her Majesty's household, Hinguerlot. A secretary of commands, Deschamps. Two head valets, Frere and Douville. Four valets in ordinary. Four men servants. Two head footmen, L'Esperance and d'Argens. Six ordinary footmen.
A word or two explained matters, and she took her husband's arm, declining to answer any questions until she reached the louse, and laughing at his curiosity. Pierre-Etienne de Saint-Faust de Lamotte, one of the king's equerries, seigneur of Grange-Flandre, Valperfond, etc., had married Marie-Francoise Perier in 1760.
