In a dozen books he scourged the court of the citizen king its pretensions, its commonness, and its assemblage of nouveaux riches. Yet in it he found many friends Victor Hugo, the Girardins and among them women who were of the world. George Sand he knew very well, and she made ardent love to him; but he laughed her off very much as the elder Dumas did. Then there was the pretty, dainty Mme.
"Ils ont dissimulé le refus méprisant que les accadiens ont fait de prendre d'eux des concessions pour les nouveaux terreins qu'ils voulaient occuper."
Lord A has tasted all the nouveaux plats
"I met her at the Post where he commanded and, later, I saw her in Washington and New York. She had been in Pittsburgh for several months before I left angling for some of the nouveaux riches, I fancy. There was plenty of gossip of her in the Clubs; though I, alone, I think, know her true history." "And you did not warn anyone of her?"
In place of this kind of riff-raff of "nouveaux riches," and plutocrats, he began by degrees to form around himself a totally different entourage, though he was careful to make his various changes slowly, so that they should not be too freely noticed and commented upon.
They know that they can rely on the fellow-feeling of one of their own class with another, while the subservience of NOUVEAUX ENRICHIS, who knocking at the door of the class, is a still surer reliance, and that nothing very democratic need be apprehended under the most democratic suffrage, as long as democratic persons can be prevented from being elected to Parliament."
Either in his own person, or in the persons of his near relations, the wholesale merchant and the manufacturer all bourgeois alike he supplies the mass of nouveaux riches who are the pet laughing-stock of all our playwrights, and novelists, and comic papers.
This piece was written to please the court and gentry, at the expense of the nouveaux riches, who, rendered wealthy by the sudden acquisition of immense fortune, become desirous to emulate such as have been educated in the front ranks of society, in those accomplishments, whether mental or personal, which cannot be gracefully acquired after the early part of life is past.
As he looked at old Peter Van Dyck and his colored assistants, whom he had seen at every house at which he had dined, he remarked, "How much all your servants resemble each other in America!" It was really an unintentional sarcasm, but it might well have suggested to our nouveaux riches the propriety of having their own trained servants to do the work of their houses instead of these outside men.
"Only as Nouveaux, and then, as a rule, the high-jinks are pretty genuine there at least, with the students. We used to go to keep cool in spring and hear the music; to keep warm in winter; and amuse ourselves at Carnival time." "But Mr Clifford knows all the girls at `Bullier's. Do do you?" "Some." "How many?" she said, pettishly. "None now." A pause. Yvonne was looking down.
