When they awoke in the mornings, in a sleeping apartment far more splendid than any they could ever sanely hope not that they were sane to rent for themselves, when an interested if blasée chambermaid entered with early tea, finding Marie in one of the pink caps and a pink matinée over a miraculously frail nightdress, with Osborn hopelessly surprised and admiring, they used to say to each other, while the bride dispensed the tea: "Isn't it all nice?
She did not seem near getting tired of it, though she pretended that she had no more illusions, was thoroughly blasee, had exhausted every sensation, and that life henceforth had no surprise in reserve for her. Her reception of M. de Tregars was, therefore, one of Mlle.
She was, if not blasee, at least ennuyee, and began to miss excitement, and feel blindly about her for something to make life interesting.

When in this country, a properly brought up young aristocrat is presented by her mamma to an admiring circle of friends, she is quite a blasée person. She and her friends have already talked over the “men” of their circle, and decided, with a sigh, that there were matches going about.
Madame Sand's position became more unpleasant than ever. She describes herself as "blasée d outrages threatened perpetually by the coward hatreds and imbecile terrors of country places."
Since then the tree of liberty has come down with a crash and we have had another festa as noisy on that occasion. Revolution and counter-revolution, Guerazzi and Leopold, sacking of Florence and entrance of the Austrian army we live through everything, you see, and baby grows fat indiscriminately. For my part, I am altogether blasée about revolutions and invasions.
