"I should like a cup of tea," she said simply. "It's a very hot day." The magnificent coolness of this request fairly caught Miss Husted. Given a person who can tell fortunes, and another person on the lookout for one, a person who has infinite hope in the future, whose whole life indeed is in the future, and it doesn't take long to establish an entente cordiale.
A woman of fashion may enter an assembly of thinkers and find herself dreaded and shunned, until some kind word creates the entente cordiale. In the social entertainments of New York, the majority prefer those where the hostess introduces her guests under, of course, these wise and proper limitations. As for forms of introduction, the simplest are best. A lady should introduce her husband as "Mr.
It also gave me an opportunity to return the fire-tongs, a proceeding which I had considered would assist in a return of the entente cordiale at home, but which most unjustly appeared to have exactly the opposite effect. It has been my experience that the most innocent action may, under certain circumstances, assume an appearance of extreme guilt.
By the Entente Cordiale with France in 1904 and a later settlement of outstanding difficulties with Russia, she also practically changed the Dual Alliance into a Triple Entente, though without positively binding herself to assistance in war.

A little flush mounted almost to his forehead. "I have had the devil's own luck," he muttered. "I can't take up a newspaper," she continued bitterly, "without finding it full of abuse of you. They say that during six weeks the entente cordiale has vanished.
But that does not help us forward. We have to face the situation as it is. We did sign the treaty and promise our support. There is an Entente Cordiale between us and France. On the other hand, there is very little doubt that Germany means to crush France. She means also to dominate the life of the world. War has been declared, Germany has marched across Luxemburg, through Belgium, into France.
