Where's this perfidious Fair? this blushless Maid, That has by my Example broke her Vows? A Precedent that Fiends wou'd shame to follow. Cel. Who is't you mean, Sir? Bel.

On the other side the blushless captain of dragoons listened, with downcast eyes, to the sentimental compliments of Beaumarchais, and suffered himself, without a smile, to be compared to the Maid of Orleans, says the Duc de Broglie. 'Our manners are obviously softened, wrote Voltaire.
There she sat, a sketch-book on a green table beside her and a board in her lap, brazenly painting and a more blushless piece of assurance than Miss Anne Elliott thus engaged these eyes have never beheld.
