Helas! la malheureux, abjurant sa tendresse, Exercait a souper sa fureur vengeresse. "Pardon the prolixity of my quotation for the sake of its value." "I do, I do," answered Guloseton, laughing at the humour of the lines: till, suddenly checking himself, he said, "we must be grave, Mr. Pelham, it will never do to laugh. What would become of our digestions?"
He assumed, or was given, a nom de guerre such as La Tulippe, La Tendresse, Pollux, Pot-de-Vin, Vide-bouteille, or Va-de-bon-coeur. His term of service was seven or eight years, but he was by no means sure of getting a fair discharge at the end of it; and was in any case likely to reenlist. Mercier, x. 273. Segur, i. 222; Encyc. meth. The uniforms of the day were ill adapted to campaigning.
To say truth, and to say nothing of my tendresse for the Lady Hasselton, I was very anxious to escape the ridicule of crawling up to the town like a green beetle, in my uncle's verdant chariot, with the four Flanders mares trained not to exceed two miles an hour.
Considered in any light but that of Peggy's welfare But I am not considering anything in any light but that of Peggy's welfare. Dr. Denbigh used to have a little tendresse for Peggy it was never anything more, I am convinced. She is too young for him. A doctor sees so many women; he grows critical, if not captious.
On December 19, the Prince, who cannot have been far from Paris, sent Goring thither 'to get my big Muff and portfeul. I do not know which lady he addressed, on December 10, as 'l'Adorable, 'avec toute la tendresse possible. On November 28, 'R. Jackson' writes from England. He saw Dr.

Well only, if I tell you, you must throw this letter in the fire when you have read it I'm more than half convinced that there was once a tendresse, to put it mildly, between our respective papa and mamma that is, our respective papa and your respective mamma not the other way, that's ridiculous! And Adrian is coming to my way of thinking, after what happened yesterday.
Of these things he made a little packet, which he sealed up, and wrote upon it these lines: "Je les requs avec tendresse, Je vous les rends avec douleur; C'est ainsi qu'un amant, dans sou extreme fureur, Rend le portrait de sa maitresse." He called his servant, and commanded him to take this packet to the king. Voltaire did not hesitate a moment.
Faith I began to feel very uncomfortable about parting with her, the moment that I discovered that I must do so." "So I guessed," said Trevanion, with a dry look, "from the interesting scene I so abruptly trespassed upon.
