Watch the short man

unprotected women and children

high nobles in conspicuous positions

Reform and exercise

the lap of luxury

Devils howl and spirits cry.

be overwhelmed with gratitude

rediscover one's true self

kick down the ladder

Root knot

Change tune

Brilliant and brilliant

Drift about without any definite trace like running water or duckweed

outstanding in thinking and action

a set of rogues

practise what one preaches

hunch one's shoulders and bow one's back

be a petty theft

watch somebody's every mood

indulge in loud and empty talk(talk in high-sounding phrases)
