Such confounders of degrees ought to be degraded from the rank they disgrace. I understand his chief protectress is Lady Tinemouth; his second, Lady Sara Ross, who, by way of passant le temps, shows she is not quite inconsolable at the absence of her husband." Lascelles, I know not what you mean.
En passant, my eyes dwelt for an instant upon a stout woman of a certain age, whose figure was encased in a sort of armour of steel-grey satin and beads, and whose carefully-arranged head was adorned by a small tiara of diamonds, but they found no temptation to linger. One of the men was old, grey-haired, and large of girth, with a huge expanse of snowy shirt, and a head guiltless of hair.
Such were the colleagues given to M. de Maupeou to conduct the war which was about to be declared against the parliaments. I should tell you, <en passant>, that the discontent of the magistracy had only increased, and that the parliament of Paris had even finished by refusing to decide the suits which were referred to them; thus punishing the poor litigants for their quarrel with the minister.
At these touching words Miss Nugent was undisguisedly affected, and wiping her bright eyes with her pinafore, gave her small, well-shaped nose a slight touch en passant with the same useful garment, and squeezed his arm affectionately. "It's a lively look-out for me if father is going to be at home for long," remarked Master Nugent. "Who'll get his ship, Sam?"
The man who wore it had his armorial bearings embroidered on his breast in vivid colors; a chevron accompanied by a deer passant. The shield was flanked, on the right by an olive branch, on the left by a deer's antlers.

"Although dying with impatience to be enlightened on all these interesting points, you will grant me leave to inquire en passant, Dr. Reasono, if your savans receive the Mosaic account of the creation or not." "As far as it corroborates our own system, sir, and no farther.
"No," I went on, meditatively, "old as I am, and a half-blind invalid besides, it seems incredible that any woman should care to look at me more than twice en passant. But I have met let me say with the Chevalier Mancini an angel who has found me not displeasing to her, and in short I am going to marry!" There was a pause.
At his going out, he met with the Duke of brother to the Duchess, going to visit her: en passant, a very indifferent ceremony passed on both sides, for this Duke never had entertained a friendship, or scarce a respect for Cesario; but going into his sister's the Duchess, her chamber, he found her all in a rage at the Prince's so public defence of the Huguenots and their allies; and the Duke entering, they told him what had passed.

She said a good deal of the black gauze dress and the lovely effect of the silver butterflies. "I suppose it was the butterflies which made Lord Walderhurst say 'Psyche! Psyche! when he first saw you," she added, en passant. "Did he say that?" And immediately Lady Agatha looked as if she had not intended to say the words.
