Sir John, leaving me in haste this morning, I forgot a question I would have asked, and sent a lacquey to recall him." Anne sat upright. "Sister I pray you another glass of wine." My lady gave it to her at once, and she drained it eagerly. "Was he overtaken?" said a curious matron, who wished not to see the subject closed.
He'll come to no harm." A lacquey now entered to announce that the coach was ready, and Madame Langai, adjusting her mantilla, went to the playhouse where the actors were, at least, amusing. Old Lapussa always liked to have under his eye, night and day, some one or other whom he could plague and worry. Till eight o'clock every evening he was fully occupied in tormenting the whole family.
"Yes, and when the hour comes, Fanfar's condemnation is certain." "But if he escapes us?" "Impossible! We shall have him, even if we are forced to put the entire police on his track!" A lacquey knocked at the door and entered. "The Marquis de Montferrand desires to see you, sir, on a matter of great importance." "Show him up at once!" said his master, who added to Cyprien: "Do not go away.
'So you tell me; like a stage lacquey! muttered the old man, with surprising art in caricaturing a weakness in my father's bearing, of which I was cruelly conscious, though his enunciation was flowing. He lost his naturalness through forcing for ease in the teeth of insult. 'Grandada, aunty and I will leave you, said Janet, waxing importunate.
"Madame la Contesse Benvolio and Monsieur Stoops!" cried the lacquey de place as they reached the door of the low ante-room, where the Countess Benvolio deposited her shawl, and took a final look at herself in the glass. She again took the Yorkshireman's arm and entered the round ballroom, which, though low and out of all proportion, had an exceedingly gay appearance, from the judicious arrangement of the numerous lights, reflected in costly mirrors, and the simple elegance of the crimson drapery, festooned with flowers and evergreens against the gilded walls. Indeed, the hotel had been the residence of an ambassador before the first revolution, and this entresol had formed the private apartment of his Excellency. The door immediately opposite the one by which they entered, led into the Countess de Jackson's bedroom, which was also lighted up, with the best furniture exposed and her toilette-table set out with numberless scent bottles, vases, trinkets, and nick-nacks, while the salle
He looked at Talizac for a moment, and then replied, very coldly: "I am at your service, sir." The two men then walked into an almost deserted street. "I first wish to know your name," said the Vicomte. "I am Frederic de Talizac." "As I am well aware." "And I wish to know your name that I may know also, if I am to speak to you as to a gentleman, or strike you as I would a lacquey."
In the meantime I strove to insinuate myself into the good opinion of both ladies; and succeeded so well, by my diligence and dutiful behaviour, that in a little time I was at least a favourite servant; and frequently enjoyed the satisfaction of hearing myself mentioned in French and Italian, with some degree of warmth and surprise by the dear object of all my wishes, as a person who had so much of the gentleman in my appearance and discourse, that she could not for her soul treat me like a common lacquey.
Hippolito shook him by the Arm to rouze him from his Lethargy, when his Lacquey coming into the Room, out of Breath, told him there was a Coach just stopp'd at the Door, but he did not take time to who came in it.
The viceregal cavalcade passed, greeted by obsequious policemen, out of Parkgate. I'm sure you have another shilling, Dilly said. The lacquey banged loudly. Mr Dedalus amid the din walked off, murmuring to himself with a pursing mincing mouth gently: The little nuns! Nice little things! O, sure they wouldn't do anything! O, sure they wouldn't really! Is it little sister Monica!
One person in seven comes in England on the poor rates. Can the poor conceive of society as a combination to protect every man in his rights and secure him the means of existence? Is it not rather for them a conspiracy to engross its advantages for the favoured few? Luxury insults them; admiration is the exclusive property of the rich, and contempt the constant lacquey of poverty.
