"What are you doing around here, young man?" "For one thing, I am trying to prevent one of your followers robbing a woman," answered Phil boldly. "Who are you?" "That is my own affair." "I know him! I know him!
Sully remarked: "He has an eye for dramatic, but not for scenic or artistic effect. Except in The Raven, I can nowhere in his poems find a subject for a picture." In closing these reminiscences, I may be allowed to make a few remarks founded upon my actual personal knowledge of Poe, in at least the phase of character in which he appeared to me.
"Ho! ho! madame," replied Sully, "since you take it in that way, I kiss your hands, and shall not fail to do my duty for all your furies." He returned to the Louvre and told the king.

"I did not put myself into a situation to justify a charge of adultery, till I had, from conviction, shaken off the fetters which bound me to Mr. Venables. While I lived with him, I defy the voice of calumny to sully what is termed the fair fame of woman.

But, thank Heaven, he need not sully his genius by stooping " "No, no," I said. "Sorry. I only suggested it." After that I gave more time than ever to trying to think of a solution.

These words were followed by his opinion on all that had been written on those topics, and the different systems of our two famous ministers, Sully and Colbert; on errors which were daily committed in France, in points essential to the prosperity of the Empire; and on the reform he himself would make at Vienna.
This painting, which was supposed to be by Sir Joshua Reynolds, was a source of unfailing consolation to Victoria, though Stephen preferred the Sully painting of his grandmother, Judith Randolph, who reminded him in some subtle way of Margaret Blair.
