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?
On some such night as this she remembered promising to herself to live as brave and noble a life as any heroine she ever read or heard of in romance, a life sans peur et sans reproche; it had seemed to her then that she had only to will, and such a life would be accomplished. And now she had learnt that not only to will, but also to pray, was a necessary condition in the truly heroic.
At night the painful idea continually recurred to him; and whenever he was fallen asleep, the sound of Lady Dashfort's voice returned upon his ear, saying the words, "What could he expect when he married one of the St. Omars? None of the women sans reproche." He stated what he had heard, and besought his mother to tell him the whole truth without reserve.
Louise married, at the age of seventeen, Louis de la Tremouille, Prince de Talmont and Vicomte de Thouars, known as the Knight Sans Peur et Sans Reproche. She maintained some correspondence with her aunt, Lucrezia Borgia, whom she had never seen, and ever signed herself "Louise de Valentinois."
The Dauphiness, Marie-Theresa-Charlotte of France, Duchess of Angouleme, born at Versailles the 19th of December, 1778, was forty-five years old when her uncle and father-in-law, Charles X., ascended the throne. She was surrounded by universal veneration. She was regarded, and with reason, as a veritable saint, and by all parties was declared to be sans peur et sans reproche.
O'Leary was as good as his word. In a species of French, that I'd venture to say would be perfectly intelligible in Mullingar, he contrived to explain to the maire that I was neither a runaway nor a swindler, but a very old friend of his, and consequently sans reproche.
Je ne veux pas dire qu'il ne fut pas Anglais avant tout. Passionnement patriote et ce n'est pas moi qui lui en ferai un reproche il epousait les passions, les coleres de son pays, mais sans rudesse, sans hauteur, sans haine ou mepris des autres peuples, sans prejuges contre aucune nation etrangere. 'Malgre son impartialite j'oserai dire qu'il avait une certaine faiblesse pour la France.
The generous Henri IV., the noble Sully, and Bayard the knight sans peur et sans reproche, were these half tiger and half monkey? Were John Calvin and Fenelon half tiger and half monkey? Laplace, Geoffroy St. Hilaire, Cuvier, Des Cartes, Malebranche, Arago what were they? The tree of history is enriched with no nobler and fairer boughs and blossoms than have grown from the French stock.
An infernal demon of honesty haunted him which made him say to himself: "These men know a great deal, but do not know all if they did they would cut me and therefore I have no right to their acquaintance." He thought that everyone except himself was sans peur et sans reproche.
"And that one thing?" "Permission, Madame, to serve you in any capacity, however humble in any strait where a brother might interfere, or a faithful retainer lay down his life in your service." With a sweet earnestness that made my heart beat and my cheeks glow, she thanked and promised me. "I shall look upon you henceforth," she said, "as my knight sans peur et sans reproche."
