Hundreds responded from Alsace; some in Strasburg itself, and many from the surrounding villages, grain-fields, and vineyards. They presently numbered nine hundred, husbands, wives, and children. There was one family named Thomas, with a survivor of which I conversed in 1884. And there was Eva Kropp, née Hillsler, and her husband, with their daughter of fifteen, named for her mother.
The pretty Baronne de Macumer nee de Chaulieu the Duchesse de Maufrigneuse, Madame d'Espard, Madame de Camps, and Mademoiselle des Touches a connection of the Grandlieus, who are a Breton family were frequent visitors on their way to a ball or on their return from the opera.
Mrs. Field died in 1792, when Lamb was seventeen. William Plumer died in 1822, aged eighty-six, having apparently arranged with his widow, who continued at Gilston, that Blakesware should be pulled down a work of demolition which at once was begun. This lady, née Jane Hamilton, afterwards married a Mr. Nothing now remains but a few mounds, beneath which are bricks and rubble.
But Anne was indignant. "It's like Bella," she snapped. "Well, she has made her bed and she can lie on it. I'm sure I shan't make it for her. But if you want to know my opinion, Mr. Harbison may be a fool, but you can't ram two Bellas, both NEE Knowles, down Miss Caruthers' throat with a stick." We had not thought of that before and every one looked blank.
For you have already perceived that there was one being to whom the Countess was absorbingly devoted, and to whose desires she made everything else subservient namely, Caroline Czerlaski, nee Bridmain.

I took some leaves from one of the decorative wreaths in the little parlour, and made a chaplet of them, and placed them on née Bates' shining chestnut hair, and made her turn her profile to her husband. "By jingo!" said he. "Isn't Ida's a dead ringer for the lady's head on the silver dollar?" He compelled my interest as he stepped from the ferry at Desbrosses Street.
The letter of which he spoke had fallen on the table, where I now read the address, "À Madame la Comtesse d'Auvergne, née Comtesse de Meudon, dame d'honneur de S. M. l'Impératrice." As I read these lines, I felt my face grow burning hot, my cheeks flushed up, and I could scarcely have been more excited were I actually in her presence to whom the letter was destined.
Perhaps they were the progenitors of the authors of the books. Mr. Thackeray has introduced us to sundry gentlemen and ladies bearing a faint likeness to them; but he also permitted us to behold Lady Beckie Crawley nee Sharpe boxing little Rawdon's ears, and to meet Mrs. Hobson Newcome at one of her delightful "at homes," where Runmun Loll, of East Indian origin, was the lion of the evening.
