But no man is the same afterwards. Oliver has what the French call panache " "What's panache?" "The real heroic swagger something spiritual about it. Oliver's not going to let you notice the change in him." "We went to the Alhambra, and he laughed as if such a thing as war had never been heard of." "Naturally," said Doggie. "All that's part of the panache."
Many were the questions raised, and many the inaccurate explanations accepted as to the reason of our being; but though my companion came in for some inevitable discussion, I was relieved to find that my panache and a comic peculiarity of gait, which I thought it as well from time to time to affect, proved usefully diverting.
The flower of the French Army and almost all the leading French Generals Castelnau, Pétain, Nivelle, Gouraud, have passed through its furnace. But famous as it is, and for ever associated with the remarkable and fascinating personality of General Gouraud, which gives to it a panache of its own, it has not the sacredness of Verdun. We had spent the day before the expedition to Champagne at St.
"Very strange I mean rather strange," said Lord George, helping himself, as he spoke, to his usual quantity of butter, and then drumming upon the table; whilst Mr. Mountague, all the time, looked down, and preserved a profound silence. At length the door opened, and Mlle. Panache, in a riding habit, made her appearance. "Bon jour, miladi!

Dashwood pretended neither to win affection nor to command respect; but he was, as his pupil emphatically swore, "the best fellow in the world." Upon this best fellow in the world, Mlle.

They always carried a fair panache, or plume of feathers, of the colour of their muff, bravely adorned and tricked out with glistering spangles of gold.
I don't think that Gregory's wife should go in anybody's train." "It was markedly in Mercedes's train that he found her." "All the more reason for wishing now to withdraw her from it. Karen has become something more than Madame von Marwitz's panache." Mrs. Forrester at this fixed Betty very hard and echoes of Miss Scrotton rang loudly.
Any good anecdotes from the age of five to fifteen, good latitude and longitude, will suit me; and if you can tell me any pleasing misfortunes of emigrants, so much the better. I have a great desire to draw a picture of an anti-Mademoiselle Panache, a well-informed, well-bred French governess, an emigrant.
