Now, Captain Mackenzie and Captain Home, I will ask you to act as furnishers.

You know what is required for a young officer on the staff of a general like Viscount Turenne, who would be called upon to accompany him to court, and must do him no discredit; besides which, he must of course have clothes for a campaign.

He will not need arms, for I have kept for him his father's sword and pistols.

See that the tailors undertake to get his clothes ready quickly, for he is to accompany Turenne to Italy in four or five days.

One suit at least must be finished in two days, for on the third he is to wait upon Turenne, who is staying at the hotel of the Duc de Bouillon, and he may possibly be presented to the cardinal." The dress of a French gentleman in the reign of Louis XIII differed but slightly from that worn at the same time by the cavaliers of Charles I.It consisted of a loose cloak of cloth, silk, satin, or velvet, according to the occasion and the wealth of the wearer.
