Cavalier Quotes

“The smartest cavaliers at the command 'To horse!'
contrive to be in time for both a horse and whores.”
― Volodymyr Knyr

“A tall meagre figure, answering, with his horse, the description of Don Quixote mounted on Rozinante appeared in the twilight at the inn door, while my aunt and Liddy stood at a window in the dining-room. - He wore a coat, the cloath of which had once been scarlet, trimmed with Brandenburgs, now totally deprived of their metal, and he had holster-caps and housing of the same stuff and same antiquity. Perceiving ladies at the window abouth, he endeavoured to dismount with the most graceful air he could assume, but the girth unfortunately gave way, the saddle turned, down came the cavalier to the ground, and his hat and periwig falling off, displayed a head-piece of various colours, patched and plaistered in a woeful condition.”
― Tobias Smollett, The Expedition of Humphry Clinker
