Yet," said he, speaking of these and the other remunerations which were made him for his services, "these presents, rich as they are, do not elevate me. My pride is, that at Constantinople, from the grand seignior to the lowest Turk, the name of Nelson is familiar in their mouths; and in this country I am everything which a grateful monarch and people can call me."
Patrick Dooley, Secretary, was in his place on the right of the Grand Seignior. The meeting was large, and a more desperate looking collection of men have rarely assembled in a convention in our city. Such desecration of the evening of the Sabbath has never before been witnessed here.
He is sure that henceforth his crop will no longer be eaten up by the levies of the seignior, of the decimateur and of the King, that it will belong to him, that it will be wholly his, and that the worse the famine in the towns, the dearer he will sell his produce.
Too politic, however, openly to reprove so powerful a functionary, he continued to speak of him and of his administration to Philip in terms of exalted eulogy. He was a "sage seignior," a prudent governor, one on whom his Majesty could entirely repose.
"Well spoken, reverend seignior," she said, as she found herself alone with the Queen. "I wish my Lady Countess would leave me alone. I am none of hers." "Nay, mademoiselle, be not thus disdainful," said the Queen, in a gay tone of banter; "give me here this poor token that thou dost so despise, when many a maiden would be distraught with delight and gratitude.

It was then that Bonaparte first selected for his representative to the Grand Seignior, General Brune, commonly called by Moreau, Macdonald, and other competent judges of military merit, an intriguer at the head of armies, and a warrior in time of peace when seated in the Council chamber.
Fran. Oh, Monster of a Grand Seignior! Guz. Have you a mind to be flead, Sir? Car. Fran. His Handkerchief! bless me, what does he mean? Guz. To do her the honour to lie with her to night. Fran. Guz. Slave, darest thou interrupt 'em, die, Dog. Fran. Hold, hold, I'm silent. Car. I love you, fair one, and design to make you Fran. A most notorious Strumpet. A Pox of his Courtesy. Car.
Seignior, she's much honour'd in the Overture, and my Abilities shall not be wanting to fix the Concord. But have you been a Traveller, Sir? Scar. Without Circumlocutions, Sir, I have seen all the Regions beneath the Sun and Moon. Doct. Moon, Sir! You never travell'd thither, Sir? Scar.
