We were not half a mile from the town before the roll of kettledrums and the blare of bugles swelling up musically through the darkness announced the arrival of the regiment of horse which our friends at the inn had been expecting. 'It is as well, perhaps, said Saxon, 'that we gave them the slip, for that young springald might have smelled a rat and played us some ill-turn.
"One pretender is as good as another," said Spitz dryly. "But leave HIM to me. 'Tis the King we must protect and succor! As for that Scotch springald, before midnight I shall have him kidnaped, brought back to his master in a close carriage, and you YOU shall take his place at Kohlslau." "I will," I said enthusiastically, drawing my sword; "but I have done nothing yet.
Michael Wing-the-wind, who had shrunk from his youthful companion during this altercation, according to the established maxim of courtiers of all ranks, and in all ages, now transgressed their prudential line of conduct so far as to come up to him once more. "Thou art a hopeful young springald," said he, "and I see right well old Yorkshire had reason in his caution.
And, Christie, do thou look to the young springald, and call to the cellarer for a flagon of the best." The Baron took his wonted place at the upper end of the board; his Catherine sate down, and courteously pointed to a seat betwixt them for their reverend guest.

Your wine is always bad, but sack is too good to polish English oak. Now, boys, here's to Stop! Let's make this French springald drink King Harry's health. There, boy. Take up that cup."
"Can you mend that, young springald?" said he, as a shout rent the air at his success, as Helen turned pale to think that the champion of her secret heart was likely to be overcome, and as Squintoff, pocketing the Rowski's money, turned to the noble boy of Godesberg. "Has anybody got a pea?" asked the lad.
For I depart towards Dover to-night, else this springald cardinal will be gone from Paris ere I come. 'Men shall make us cry, in the end, steel our hearts how we will, she said to Margot Poins, who found her weeping with her head down upon the table above a piece of paper. 'I would weep for no man, Margot answered.
"I warrant Sir Damian is secretary to my pretty lady," answered Stephen Pontoys, "as this springald Amelot is to Sir Damian; and so we poor men must obey and keep our mouths shut." "But our eyes open, Stephen Pontoys forget not that."
'His name is Derrick, one time chief apprentice to Master Timewell at Taunton, and now an officer in the Taunton foot. 'What, the young springald who had his eye upon pretty Mistress Ruth!
