Brantôme may have allowed his imagination to run away with him; but the good influence of Agnes must have been acknowledged in her own time and later, or Francis I would not have written of her: "'Plus de louange son amour s'y mérite Étant cause de France recouvrer!" "And I, for my part, don't believe a word of it!" said Miss Cassandra emphatically.
And if he had anything in him that carried appearance of merite of praise, yet being thoroughly weighed and sounded, it was found farther off from vertue than vice.
I have heard of him before as being well in the running towards an ordre pour le merite. An interesting chart is hanging in the wardroom, on which is marked the last resting-place of every ship he has sunk.

Royston did not seem in the least inclined to smile; had he done so Armand would have been bitterly disappointed. As it was, he answered very coldly, without a shade of consciousness on his face. "Un compliment mérite toujours des remercimens, M. le Vicomte, même quand on ne le comprend pas. Pardon, si je vous engage, de ne pas expliquer plus clairement votre allégorie."
"Lord Estridge: but you know him he has been often here." "Is he rich?" said Lady Davenant. "Oh yes, very rich, and very self-sufficient: he is the man Cecilia used to call 'Le prince de mon merite."
