The lords of the bedchamber, who were to carry his Majesty's train felt about on the ground, as if they were lifting up the ends of the mantle; and pretended to be carrying something; for they would by no means betray anything like simplicity, or unfitness for their office.
And the lords of the bedchamber took greater pains than ever, to appear holding up a train, although, in reality, there was no train to hold.
