Ah, here Lillyston comes." "What an honest open face," said Kennedy. "Like the soul which looks through it, sans peur et sans reproche," said Julian warmly. "Rather a contrast to the last comer," murmured Kennedy, as he picked up his cap and gown to walk to the lecture-room. "There, don't think of Hazlet any more," said Julian.
But now she inwardly contrasted her strong, masterful knight, "sans peur et sans reproche," as she believed, with the enfeebled, shrunken man at her side. Gregory suffered dreadfully by the comparison.
Now I have explained to you the reason of my presence here as minutely as if you were my father confessor, and nothing remains to be done but to present you to my escort. This is Count Voss, a noble cavalier, a sans peur et sans reproche, ready to sacrifice for his lady love, if not his life, at least his fair hair."
I think she should take Soda-water, even if he hasn't got anything like a father to speak of. And even if he hasn't got a father this was what Nan said he might be equally "sans père et sans reproche." 'It was your sister Anne said that, was it? remarked Frank King, quickly. 'That was in her saucy days, said Mr. Tom, sadly. 'It's quite different now. Now she's on the pious lay.
"There he is, departed, but not in peace, to reflect upon what has been said," whispered Lady Dashfort to her daughter. "I hope it will do him a vast deal of good." "None of the women sans reproche!

Moreover, he was himself as honest as day, and as pure as virtue.
Thus the ring of raconteurs telling blackguardly stories around the stoves in Hooker's Bend stores, are, in reality, exercising one another in the more delicate sentiments of life, and may very well be classed as a round table of Sir Galahads, sans peur et sans reproche.
Among the most prominent and talented of these was John Forsyth, Peter Early, George M. Troup, the man sans peur, sans reproche, Thomas W. Cobb, Stephen Upson, Duncan G. Campbell, the brother-in-law of Clarke, and personally and politically his friend, and who, from the purity of his character and elevated bearing, was respected, trusted, and beloved by all who knew him; Freeman Walker, John M.
