A number of blackguard-looking men gathered round us, recommending their own services, and different hotels, with much vehemence, and violent altercations among themselves; and troops of children followed, crying, "Vivent les Anglois Give me one sous."
There are two, to all appearance, well-authenticated stories of the cause of Jeanne's "relapse." One account is given by Frere Isambard, whom she told in the presence of several others, that she had been assaulted in her cell by a Millourt Anglois, and barbarously used, and in self-defence had resumed again the man's dress which had been left in her cell.
The soi-disant marquise opened it herself, for which kind office Thornton gave her a leer and a wink, characteristic of his claims to gallantry. When the door was again closed upon them, I went up to the marquise, and after a few compliments, asked whether the room Messieurs les Anglois had entered, was equally open to all guests?
Gentilshommes, have de goodness to make de face to de right par file, dat is, by files. Marsh! Mais, tres bien; encore, Messieurs; il faut vous mettre a la marche. ... Marchez done, au nom de Dieu, parceque j'ai oublie le mot Anglois; mais vous etes des braves gens, et me comprenez tres bien. The Count next hastened to put the cavalry in motion. 'Gentilmans cavalry, you must fall in.
We perfectly agreed in our ideas of travelling; we hurried from place to place as fast as horses and wheels, and curses and guineas, could carry us. Milord Anglois rattled over half the globe without getting one inch farther from his ennui. Three years were to be consumed before I should be of age.

In this the influence of Holbein is certainly discernible, though not all pervading. Walpole, quoting this, adds, "I quote this passage to prove to those who learn one or two names by rote that every old picture you see is not by Holbein."
It is of much more consequence to know the 'mores multorem hominum' than the 'urbes'. Pray continue this judicious conduct wherever you go, especially at Paris, where, instead of thirty, you will find above three hundred English, herding together and conversing with no one French body. The life of 'les Milords Anglois' is regularly, or, if you will, irregularly, this.
She will erect a monument to him in her charming jardin Anglois. This will occupy her, and then "Time, the comforter" Inimitable Voltaire! Our dear Brillante has just had a superb hommage from her lover the commissary a necklace and bracelets of the finest; pearls: but she cannot wear them yet: her brother having died last week, she is in deep mourning.
In the vast crowd he was distinguished: some nobleman of note asked who he was another observed l'air noble another exclaimed, " Le bel Anglois!" and his fortune was made at Paris; especially as a friend of Madame du Barry's asked where he bought his embroidery. He went afterwards, at least in Connal's society, by the name of "Le bel Anglois."
