I tell these people they can sue her but, man, you might as well sue the statue of Oliver Cromwell " "He being stony-broke likewise," said I. "Well, she had a run for her money, and here's good luck to her. I hope that I haven't seen her for the last time." "If you have," says he, "put me in Madame Tussaud's. When next you hear of Dolly St. John it will be in something big.
Twenty-eight of the canvases were eventually sold, however, for a sum greater than was paid for the lot, yet enough remained to make a most representative display; and no American in London misses seeing the Dore Gallery, any more than we omit Madame Tussaud's Wax-Works. In Eighteen Hundred Seventy-three, Dore visited England and was welcomed as a conquering hero.
They wanted to get the nearest thing they could to a stuffed man whose stuffing should not grow mouldy. They should have had some such an establishment as our Madame Tussaud's, where the figures wear real clothes, and are painted up to nature. Such an institution might have been made self-supporting, for people might have been made to pay before going in.
They visited the Zoo in this way, the Tower, Madame Tussaud's, the British Museum, St. Paul's, and Westminster Abbey, and many other places of interest and amusement. On Sunday morning their father always took them to church. In the afternoon he would smoke in his little study; and they were allowed to be with him, and have their tea there as a treat.

It was like the wax face of a dead king I saw once at Madame Tussaud's. Alice understood. She caught hold of the soldier's mother's hand and said 'Oh, NO it's NOT your boy Bill!

The Tower, you know, and all that." "Ah!" said Mr. Mafferton, with a distant eye upon the Campagna. It was really very difficult. "Do you remember the day we went to Madame Tussaud's?" I asked. Perhaps my intonation was a little dreamy. "I shall never forget William the Conqueror never." "Yes yes, I think I do." It was clearly an effort of memory.
