Love Romances of the Aristocracy by Thornton Hall
page 129 of 321 (40%)
"Also, I would, besides that allowance for my apparel,
have six hundred pounds added yearly for the performance
of charitable works; these I would not neither be
accountable for. Also, I will have three horses for my
own saddle, that none shall dare to lend or borrow; none
lend but I, none borrow but you. Also, I would have two
gentlewomen, lest one should be sick; also, believe that
it would be an indecent thing for a gentlewoman to stand
mumping alone, when God has blest their Lord and Lady
with a great estate. Also, when I ride hunting or
hawking, or travel from one house to another, I will have
them attending, so for each of those said women I must
have a horse. Also, I will have six or eight gentlemen,
and will have two coaches; one lined with velvet to
myself, with four very fair horses; and a coach for my
women lined with sweet cloth, orelaid with gold; the
other with scarlet, and laced with watchet lace and
silver, with four good horses. Also, I will have two
coachmen, one for myself, the other for my women. Also,
whenever I travel, I will be allowed not only carroches
and spare horses for me and my women, but such carriages
as shall be fitting for all, orderly, not pestering my
things with my women's, nor theirs with chambermaids, nor
theirs with washmaids.

"Also, laundresses, when I travel; I will have them sent
away with the carriages to see all safe, and the
chambermaids shall go before with the grooms, that the
chambers may be ready, sweet, and clean.
