In Chapman's play
Lasso says that the disposition of his house for the reception of
guests was placed in the hands of this servant (cf. Chapman, _Wks. _
1. 263 f. ). Innumerable allusions occur in which the requirement
of going bare-headed is mentioned (see note on 4. 4. 202). Another
necessary quality was a fine pace, which is alluded to in the present
character's name (see also note 4. 4. 201). An excellent description
of the gentleman-usher will be found in Nares' _Glossary,_ quoting
from Lenton's _Leasures_, a book published in 1631, and now very rare.
