By God! they call him Joseph Surface!" At Valenciennes, where there was a review and a great dinner, the Duchess arrived with an old and ugly lady-in-waiting, and the Duke of Wellington found himself in a difficulty. "Who the devil is to take out the maid of honour?" he kept asking; but at last he thought of a solution. "Damme, Freemantle, find out the mayor and let him do it."
The man who guards her door is called Dannox. He will not be at his post, but will accompany you when you leave the castle. You will understand how carefully you must enter her room and how deeply she must be chloroformed. In the adjoining room her lady-in-waiting, the Countess Dagmar, sleeps. If her door is ajar, you are to creep in and chloroform her, leaving her undisturbed.
One of the first evidences of his favour was to provide her with a husband in the Comte de Vintimille, and a dower of two hundred thousand livres. He promised her a post as lady-in-waiting to Madame la Dauphine and gave her a sumptuous suite of rooms at Versailles.
That is done by her principal lady-in-waiting, who has patterns sent to the palace, from which she selects a certain number to show the empress.

Comte Jules, however, had a sister, Diane, a clever-tongued, ambitious young woman, who had found a footing at Court as lady-in-waiting to the Comtesse d'Artois, and whom her brother and his wife were proud to visit on their rare journeys to the capital.

The Dauphine of Bavaria. She Displeases Madame de Montespan. First Debut Relating to Madame de Maintenon, Appointed Lady-in-waiting. Conversation between the Two Marquises. When I saw him decided upon marrying Monseigneur le Dauphin, I reminded him of his maxim. He fell to smiling, and answered me: "Chance, too, sometimes works its miracles.
Then I unsaddled the rooster and mounted the bee. The rooster, poor thing, was so tired that I had to take him by the hand and lead him along beside us. "Father!" the Princess cried, "did you hear that? He took the rooster by the hand! Isn't that funny!" "Umph!" grunted the Tsar, and the first lady-in-waiting whispered: "Hush! Let the young man finish!"
"Then you cannot tell me about my people." She was disappointed. "And you," inquired the driver, "you will stay for a visit?" "A week only. But better than nothing." "After that, you return to the city?" "Yes. Madame the Countess you would know, if you were Etzel-born Madame the Countess is lady-in-waiting to Her Royal Highness, the Archduchess Annunciata." "So!" said the driver.
The people in the boat began to throw out the stones, splash, splash, right and left, into the foam. One stone hit the nose of Wellamos's chief lady-in-waiting, another scratched the sea queen herself on the cheek, a third plumped close to Ahti's head and tore off half of the sea-king's beard; then there was a commotion in the sea, the waves bubbled and bubbled like boiling water in a pot.
