"In a short while he came forth in his regalia, surrounded by a group of carpet knights and peremptorily demanded: "'What do you want and why have not you and your comrades begun the assault as ordered?

Peasants in other countries, plowmen, shopkeepers, laborers in England all these at least they knew of, and counted them in as factors in the lives of the rich and great; but this dear young man ! "What's a crown like? I'd like to see one. How much do you guess such a thing would cost in dollars?" "Did not Miss Temple Barholm take you to see the regalia in the Tower of London?
At this very moment the bachelor returned from the dead, and when Don Quixote saw him open his eyes, he pointed his sword at his face and swore that the Knight of the Mirrors thus he called the Knight of the Grove because of his shining regalia would be a dead man if he did not pronounce the Lady Dulcinea del Toboso the most beautiful woman in the world.

Jon longed to see his master in full regalia once more, and after all, was not this an embassy of a sort? But Rezanov, who already regarded his reflection with some humor, shook his head.
Helene wrung her hands in a frenzy as she watched their futile efforts. Wallie always carried a rope on his saddle, why didn't he use it? Was he afraid? Couldn't he?
