Chance now once more helped him: a few days after taking over from Sainte-Croix a man-servant named George, M. de Saint-Laurent fell sick, and his illness showed symptoms similar to those observed in the case of the d'Aubrays, father and sons; but it was more rapid, lasting only twenty-four hours. Like them, M. de Saint-Laurent died a prey to frightful tortures.
X does not keep a man-servant men of his intellectual type seldom do but does own a limousine and consequently employs a chauffeur. To meet and make this chauffeur mine took me just two days. I don't know how I did it. I never know how I do it," he added with a sheepish smile as Mr. Gryce gave utterance to his old-fashioned "Umph!"
A man-servant made the same application, and was sent to the guillotine. The grief of M. Roland, when apprised of the event, was unbounded. For a time he entirely lost his senses. Life to him was no longer endurable. He knew not of any consolations of religion. Philosophy could only nerve him to stoicism.
It falls heaviest upon the middling rank. A man of two hundred a-year may keep a single man-servant. A man of ten thousand a-year will not keep fifty. It does not affect the poor. Taxes upon the profits of stock, in particular employments, can never affect the interest of money.
A disagreeable-looking man-servant came in with a cup of coffee, cream and sugar on a tray.

'I could see how moved you were by the news of my father's illness. The door stood open, and the old-fashioned man-servant within had been in the act of closing it upon Bommaney's retreating figure when cab number two had driven up, and the young master of the house had alighted from it. 'Is the news worse or better? He laid both hands upon Bommaney's arms as he put this question.
She had to go into society with him now and then, he was pleased when she always well dressed was in request as an agreeable woman. He was fond of going out and went, alas, much, much too often. So she instructed the cook and the man-servant even begged them earnestly to keep a watch on what was going on.
In crossing the hall and ascending the stairs, look where he might, his notice was insensibly won by proofs of the taste which is not to be purchased, and the wealth which uses, but never exhibits, its purse. Conducted by a man-servant to the landing on the first floor, he found a maid at the door of the boudoir waiting to announce him. Mrs.
Wilt thou give of thy abundant hair, Mary?" "Of my hair? Yea, thou shalt have all even my blood for my brother Larazus." "Seat thyself and bid thy servant to give me a plait of thy hair. And thou, Martha, bring me a knife wholly of iron and have thy man-servant in readiness with an ax." Mary sat down on a stool and unbound her hair.
