Is he diminished in stature? Are the lackeys sneering? The storm that has passed has marvellously chilled the air. His sister, the Countess, once explained to him what Demogorgon was, in the sensation it entailed. 'You are skinned alive! said the Countess. Evan was skinned alive. Fly, wretched young man! Summon your pride, and fly!
And not the great barons whom it will suit Edward's policy to win from the Lancastrians not the Exeters and the Somersets but the craven varlets and lackeys and dross of the camp false alike to Henry and to Edward are to be fondled into lordships and dandled into power. Young man, I am speaking hotly Richard Nevile never lies nor conceals; but I am speaking to a kinsman, am I not?
Irene bent over Louison and kissed her pale forehead. This was her answer to Fanfaro's information. Talizac had now recovered his senses. He tore open the door and angrily cried: "Is there no one here who will show this impudent fellow out? Come in, lackeys and servants; lay hands on him!" "I would advise no one to touch me," said Fanfaro, coldly.
In general however the consideration had weight with Caesar, that the soldiers of Rome should not, like those of Oriental kings, be commanded by lackeys.
His ushers, fifty other gentlemen, followed, bearing maces of gold which at one end were as large as a man's head.

He noted with angry shame that he felt a swelling of pride because he, of so lowly an origin, born no better than the machine-like lackeys, had been able to push himself in upon yes, up among these people on terms of equality.
And not the great barons whom it will suit Edward's policy to win from the Lancastrians, not the Exeters and the Somersets, but the craven varlets, and lackeys, and dross of the camp false alike to Henry and to Edward are to be fondled into lordships and dandled into power. Young man, I am speaking hotly. Richard Neville never lies nor conceals; but I am speaking to a kinsman, am I not?
Two lackeys threw open a door other than that through which the General had just entered, and a bowing official, beautifully dressed and waving a fairy-like wand, announced from the threshold, "Your Majesty's Council, now in attendance, humbly begs audience of your Majesty." Then followed a pause. The Comptroller-General with head deferentially bent waited to catch the royal eye.
The governor was driven almost to despair by these quarrels. His colonel-general, his lord marshal, his lieutenant-general, were all at daggers drawn.

One blow but by any of their lackeys brings us altogether by the ears."
