"I will enter into talk with that carter and see what can be done with him. My father, do I bear myself in a manner befitting my garb?" "Thou art a very model of pagehood, Francis. Go, my child. Heavy as the burden of this emprise is it seems to have shifted its weight to thy shoulders. Find if the lad goes to Chartley, and if so, the way may be opened for us to enter therein.
In the intimate talks of that time Myles imparted something of his honest solidity to Gascoyne's somewhat weathercock nature, and to Myles's ruder and more uncouth character Gascoyne lent a tone of his gentler manners, learned in his pagehood service as attendant upon the Countess and her ladies.
My profession forms an excuse for my going and coming at all times. Your valiant pagehood will make such explanation as may seem sufficing." "I shall make my will a sufficient excuse if I am interrogated," said the haughty young man. "Yet I will avoid interruption, if possible. The moon is quite obscured, and the road as black as a wolf's mouth."
The good Lord of Douglas I have been his henchman, and can vouch for it did not in his pagehood desire such food and lodging as, in the present day, will hardly satisfy such a lad as your friend Charles."

Accordingly, that part which comprised the squires proper, as separate from the younger pages, was divided into three classes first, squires of the body, who were those just past pagehood, and who waited upon the Earl in personal service; second, squires of the household, who, having regular hours assigned for exercise in the manual of arms, were relieved from personal service excepting upon especial occasions; and thirdly and lastly, at the head of the whole body of lads, a class called bachelors young men ranging from eighteen to twenty years of age.
Upon his part Gascoyne was full of the lore of the waiting-room and the antechamber, and Myles, who in all his life had never known a lady, young or old, excepting his mother, was never tired of lying silently listening to Gascoyne's chatter of the gay doings of the castle gentle-life, in which he had taken part so often in the merry days of his pagehood.
Holy Saints! she holds up her riding-rod as if she would lay it about some of their ears, that stand most in her way by the hand of my father! she bears herself like the very model of pagehood. Hey! what! sure she will not strike frieze-jacket in earnest?"
