"Ill fares it with the man who would venture to deceive him. He hath by rote the name of every knight of France or of England; and all the tree of his family, with his kinships, coat-armor, marriages, augmentations, abatements, and I know not what beside. We may leave our horses here with the varlets, and push forward with our squires."
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.

"They are free in speech," Dame Swindon said, "and are an impudent set of varlets.

They hold together greatly, and it is as well that you should not become engaged in a quarrel with them.
He has charged a true and loyal subject of his Majesty with being a spy. In return we tell him he is the worst of spies a spy employed by the Pope; and we will teach him the danger of his employment." "Hands off, base varlets!" exclaimed De Gondomar, endeavouring to shake himself free from the rude grasp imposed upon him.
The Grand Vizier tells the Lord High Chamberlain; the Lord High Chamberlain whispers it in confidence to the Supreme Hereditary Custodian of the Royal Pet Dog; the Supreme Hereditary Custodian hands it on to the Exalted Overseer of the King's Wardrobe on the understanding that it is to go no farther; and, before you know where you are, the varlets and scurvy knaves are gossiping about it in the kitchens, and the Society journalists have started to carve it out on bricks for the next issue of Palace Prattlings.

"I will list you for my soldier, then," said the Countess. "Ladies have no soldiers," said the boy, looking wistfully at her.
