"My what! my ministerial functions." "Oh no, that were too much even though his majesty did say that you were the most agreeable diplomate he had met for a long time." "I, a diplomate." "You, certainly. Surely you cannot be acting now; why, gracious mercy, Lorrequer! can it be possible that you were not doing it by design, do you really not know in what character you appeared last night?"
This distinction would establish Lucien's fortune as a diplomate, and he would probably be accredited as Minister to some German Court. For the last three years Lucien's life had been regular and above reproach; indeed, de Marsay had made this remarkable speech about him: "That young fellow must have a very strong hand behind him." Thus Lucien was almost a person of importance.
"No" said she slowly, and as if thinking to herself; "no unless we took the Sinclair cottage for the summer." "I hadn't thought of that," said I. "What was the rent?" asked the diplomate. She knew as well as I did. "Eight hundred dollars a year," said I. "That is a clear saving of $1,700 a year," said Jennie. "That's a fact," said I.
With the innate consciousness of their absurdity, they become fidgetty and uneasy, and would give the world for “a row” to conceal the defaults of their breeding. Just so, your petty “diplomate” suffers agony in all the quiet intercourse of life. The limited opportunities of small states have circumscribed his information.
While on service, our days were passed in the antechamber, beside the salle d'audience of the Emperor, reclining against the closed door, watching attentively for the gentle tinkle of the little bell which summoned us to open for the exit of some haughty diplomate, or the entrée of some redoubted general.
Quæ priuilegia, cum nostris subditis Anglis inuictissima vestra Maiestas literis et diplomate suo liberalissimè indulserit, facere non potuimus, quin quas maximas animus noster capere potest gratias, eo nomine ageremus: sperantes fore, vt hæc instituta commerciorum ratio maximas vtilitates, et commoda vtrinque, tam in imperij vestri ditiones, qu
His bow to Estella clearly indicated that his business lay with Conyngham. He was the incarnation of the Continental ideal of the polished cold Englishman, and had the air of a diplomate such as this country sends to foreign Courts to praise or blame, to declare friendship or war with the same calm suavity and imperturbable politeness.
The reader will please bear this in mind. Whatever I say, particularly what I am going to say now, is confidential. Don't mention it. My wife is a diplomate. If ever I am president of the United States which may Heaven forbid, she shall be secretary of State. She never argues; but she always carries her point. She always lets me have my own way without hinting an objection.
But there was present to him always a feeling that the men at the Foreign Office had been glad to get any respectable diplomate to go to Patagonia, and that his brethren in the profession had marvelled at his acceptance of such a mission. One never likes to be thanked over much for doing anything. It creates a feeling that one has given more than was expedient.
"The Alt-Schloss is indeed a picturesque construction," said the diplomate, by way of generally inviting my confidence. "We were conversing about the poems of Salis and Matthisson," I pursued.
