Judge of my surprise when I saw a human figure approaching to meet me; I had no doubt it was the captain of the vessel, and " "And it was Captain Jack, sans peur et sans reproche," said the bold little fellow. "I was determined not to return home a poltroon who was afraid of the water."
Coming from your restful presence, how little disposed am I to enter upon the strifes of these stormy times, and to take up the gage of battle thrown recklessly down by some knight of the Upper House, whose idea, either of manly dignity or of Parliamentary warfare, is not that of the "preux chevalier, sans peur et sans reproche."
Woodbury Kane social leader, Fortune's favorite, aristocratic, refined, cultured, wealthy, haut ton de haut ton, and sabreur sans peur et sans reproche how shall I paint him to you as I learned to know him in those dreadful, delightful seventeen days in which we lived only from instant to instant, and every man unconsciously bared his soul to his comrades because he could not help it?
His uncle had told him more than once how much a peer of England owed to his country and to his order; how such a one is bound by no ordinary bonds to a life of high resolves, and good endeavours. "Sans reproche" was the motto of his house, and was emblazoned on the wall of the hall that was now his own.
"Certainly," he said: "I found him bullying you and gave him a good punishing for it." "Is that all you remember?" "Yes," he replied, honestly. "Wasn't that all?" "Quite!" she smiled, her eyes half closed. "Except that I went home immediately afterward." "Naturally," said Eugene. "My step-brother wasn't very much chevalier sans peur et sans reproche!
You are not to see that, Lord Colambre that's a little blot in our scutcheon. You know, Isabel, we never talk of that prudent match of great uncle John's: what could he expect by marrying into that family, where, you know, all the men were not sans peur, and none of the women sans reproche?" "Oh, mamma!" cried Lady Isabel, "not one exception!"
Bourbon was rebuked for his faithlessness to his King at the battle of La Biagrasse where Bayard, that perfect knight, sans peur et sans reproche, fell with so many other French nobles. The Constable had compassion on the wounded man as he lay at the foot of a tree with his face still turned to the enemy.
Yet, as the white wings of his pretty yacht caught the light breeze of morning, he felt like a most virtuous knight sans peur et sans reproche. He even felt like a steady-going person with a mission. But he wished he thoroughly understood the English nation.
He would really rather have borne some severe punishment at the hands of his parents or teacher than he would one contemptuous word or look from him who was regarded by all his young relations and friends as a chevalier sans peur et sans reproche. No prevarication, no shuffling would do here; if he said anything, if he answered at all, it must be the truth and nothing but the truth.
"I do not wonder at it; no one can deny that M. Denot is attractive, but he attracts without retaining; were I ever so much in want of lovers, I could not endure M. Denot's attentions for more than one evening at the utmost; but our other knight our other preux chevalier, sans peur et sans reproche at whose feet will he lay his trophies, Marie? who is to wreath a crown of bay leaves for his brow?"
