Resplendent
adj. Like a simple American citizen beduking himself in his lodge, or affirming his consequence in the Scheme of Things as an elemental unit of a parade.
The Knights of Dominion were so resplendent in their velvet- and-gold that their masters would hardly have known them.
“Chronicles of the Classes”
