Quanden Simon, a jeweller, 270.
Quariars, for wax to make, 116.
In the _Northumberland Household Book_ is an entry of "wax wrought
in Torches," and of "wax wrought in _Quarions_," which Bishop Percy
thus explains. "A Quarion was a square lump of wax with a wick in
the centre. Round lumps of the same are still used in the Royal
nursery under the name of Mortises." The word also occurs in the
same sense in a MS. dated at Eltham, January, 22 Henry VIII. and
noticed in the _Archæologia_, vol. iii. p. 156. "An account was
to be taken of all fuel, wine, &c. and wax lights, spent in the
King's Privy Chamber, returning to the chaundry all the remains of
mortars, torchers, _quarries_, prickets, and sizes."
Quarterage [_i. e._ Quarter's wages] for the watermen's, 279.
Quenay Vincent, [a Clockmaker,] 215.
Queen the, 43, 183.
An affecting proof of the little consideration in which the
unfortunate Katherine was held is afforded by the fact, that
during three years her name only twice occurs in the Privy Purse
expenses of her royal husband, and then only in reference to two of
her servants. Ann Boleyn is mentioned in almost every page, though
she was then unmarried, and every buffoon and jester of the Court
is frequently noticed, whilst the Queen of England is passed over
in silence.

Queristers [_i. e._ Choristers]. See WINDSOR.
