In the year 1681, then, the great king, with bag and baggage, with guards, cooks, chamberlains, mistresses, Jesuits, gentlemen, lackeys, Fenelons, Molieres, Lauzuns, Bossuets, Villars, Villeroys, Louvois, Colberts, transported himself to his new palace: the old one being left for James of England and Jaquette his wife, when their time should come.

Themistocles and Pericles, Washington and Jefferson, were not more completely exceptions in their several democracies, and were assuredly much more splendid exceptions, than the Chathams and Peels of the representative aristocracy of Great Britain, or even the Sullys and Colberts of the aristocratic monarchy of France.
It is for one of the Colberts that I destine your nephew; for I have made up my mind that the three sisters shall be duchesses." In effect, his Majesty caused this marriage; and the Marquis de Louvois had the jaundice over it for more than a fortnight. Since that time his assiduities have been enlightened.
You see, then, that I am able to go away without standing in need of you, having come here only for form's sake."

My husband would go himself but he can't step on his hurt foot and I don't dare leave. Tell the Colberts that it's the baby! He's dying, and I don't know what to do!" Jim turned, and hurried off over the ridge, but Lou took a step forward.
