'Is it not honour enough for the mechanical hinds that we wear their stuffs, said Countess Jaqueline, 'without demeaning ourselves to eat at their boards? The outrecuidance of the rogues in the Netherlands would be surpassing, did we feed it in that sort. ''Tis you that will be fed, Dame Jac, laughed Henry.

The moral sense was not yet stirred, and the boy seemed to be trying the force of his will like the strength of his limbs.
The effect on the harder fibre of the boy was chiefly mental: to Alfred Douglas, Oscar was merely a quickening, inspiring, intellectual influence; but the boy's effect on Oscar was of character and induced imitation. Lord Alfred Douglas' boldness gave Oscar outrecuidance, an insolent arrogance: artist-like he tried to outdo his model in aristocratic disdain.
'By my honour, said the Baron, 'I would gladly know who has dared to array the poor knave thus; and I trust he should dearly abye his outrecuidance, were he the best, save one, in England. Gregory, who had now found more breath, cried, 'Help, an ye be men! Save Lady Emma and her brother, whom they are murdering in Brokenhurst thicket. This put all in motion.
And I see not why you, being but a tyro, may not be held sufficiently punished for your outrecuidance, and orgillous presumption, by the loss of an ear, an eye, or even a finger, accompanied by some flesh-wound of depth and severity, suited to your error whereas, had you been able to stand more effectually on your defence, I see not how less than your life could have atoned sufficiently for your presumption."

Have ye forgotten how ye requited the unmerited hospitality of the royal John? By God and St Dennis, an ye pay not the richer ransom, I will hang ye up by the feet from the iron bars of these windows, till the kites and hooded crows have made skeletons of you!
"I," said Prince John to his attendants, but not in direct reply, "I will see how he can draw his own; and woe betide him unless his skill should prove some apology for his insolence!" "It is full time," said De Bracy, "that the 'outrecuidance' of these peasants should be restrained by some striking example."
It is my prayer that his young son may do the like, and that my Lord of York be not fretted out of his peaceful loyalty by the Somerset "outrecuidance", and above all that my own son be not the make-bate; but Richard is proud and fiery, and I fear I greatly fear, what may be in store for us. Lilias thought of Eleanor's vision, but kept silence respecting it.
'It did not indeed, he said, 'become them, as had occurred in late instances, to propone their prosapia, a lineage which rested for the most part on the vain and fond rhymes of their seannachies or bhairds, as aequiponderate with the evidence of ancient charters and royal grants of antiquity, conferred upon distinguished houses in the Low Country by divers Scottish monarchs; nevertheless, such was their outrecuidance and presumption, as to undervalue those who possessed such evidents, as if they held their lands in a sheep's skin.
"They don't hanker after her any in the yard." "But, with my constitution and temperament my work lies in Boston I find your outrecuidance " "Outer which?" said the Mogul freight. "Simple cylinders are good enough for me." "Perhaps I should have said faroucherie," hissed the Compound. "I don't hold with any make of papier-mache wheel," the Mogul insisted.
