The solemn embassy of trust committed to me by your Grace has prospered with God's blessing; and the Fils de Bourbon and the Archbishop of Narbonne are on their way to your metropolis. Alliance between the two great monarchies of Europe is concluded on terms that insure the weal of England and augment the lustre of your crown.
They prefer to keep on their feet. Ever since I began to see so much of the army, I have asked myself more than once, "Where are the fils de famille"? They can't all be officers, or all in the heavy artillery, or all in the cavalry. But I had never seen one, to know him, in the infantry. This man was in every way a new experience, even among the noncommissioned officers I had seen.
"Mon fils! mon fils!" cried the gentleman, enclosing him in his arms and bursting into tears. It was the gallant Captain of the Vengeur.

Osborn left a son, William, called from his name Fils, or Fitz Osborn, who grew up with the young Duke, and became his chief companion and friend.
"Sa Majesté le Roi de Prusse accompagné du Prince Guillaume son fils a diné en cette appartement avec son premier Chambellan Mr. Baron D'Ambolle, le 8 Juillet, 1814." ... This is the way the King of Prussia always went about in Paris, nobody knew him or saw him.... From Fontainebleau we went to Melun and kept proceeding through Guignes to Meaux.
"H-the cool rascal!" he added laughingly, and, only half to himself; "get into the garb of your true sex, sir, h-and I will guess who you are!" But the Queen, in the same feigned voice as before, retorted: "Ah! mo piti fils, to pas connais to zancestres? Don't you know your ancestors, my little son!"
But she had long ago given up in despair the hope of protecting against Rose's dramatic instincts with success. 'Dumas fils' said Langham dryly. He was distinctly a good deal astonished.
