The ancestor of the Earls of Aylesford, neither older nor less elegant than the ancestor of the Marquises of Hertford, justified his device, Aperto vivere voto, by the proud tone in which he exclaimed, "Content." Whilst he was resuming his seat, the Clerk called the fifth Baron, "My Lord John, Baron Granville."
She is neither large, nor small; her head is alluring, piquant in the sense of the period of the French marquises rather than formally beautiful. What enchantment and softness, what roguish charm play about her none too small mouth! Her skin is so infinitely delicate, that the blue veins show through everywhere; even through the muslin covering her arms and bosom.
What lack of respect; what ignorance! what a mess! "Boiled or roasted, same thing!" and at the same time, what servility for the opinion of the day, the dish of the fashion! All was false! False realism, false army, false credit, and even false harlots. They were called "marquises," while the great ladies called themselves familiarly "cochonnettes."
Marquises of Steyne do not resent sentimental losses they can be hurt only in their sportsmanship. You invariably take the greatest interest in the best character in a story unless it's too good and gets "sweety" and "sticky" and so sours on your philosophical stomach.
Commodore and Emperor, Lieutenants and Marquises, middies and pages! The brazen band on the poop struck up; the marine guard presented arms; and high aloft, looking down on this scene, all the people vigorously hurraed.
The minority were Dukes: Cumberland, Gloucester, Brandon, Richmond, Newcastle; Marquises Salisbury, Clanrickarde; Earls Winchelsea Malmesbury, O'Neil; Lords Falmouth, Penrhyn, Boston, Grantley, Glenlyon; Earl Digby, Earl Romney. The Duke goes to Windsor on Saturday to get the King to consent to give the Royal assent on Thursday, the day before Good Friday.
Beautiful relationship!" "Hold! there are many dukes and marquises; why, then, should not we of the oldest family have our nobility?" said the thief with savage irony. "Yes, Jack Ketch gives you your letters of nobility in Palace Square!" "Very sure that it is not the parson! So much the more reason in prison one should be of high Toby nobility, otherwise you are looked upon as a nobody.
"Seven kings wait upon us monthly, in turn, with sixty-two dukes, two hundred and fifty-six counts and marquises: and twelve archbishops sit at table with us on our right, and twenty bishops on the left, besides the patriarch of St.
"A man who travels round the world like a prince, who buys everything he chooses, joins exploring expeditions with lords and marquises, keeps a maid for his daughter, you have not arrived at that dignity, mother mine?" "I do not think the maid for my daughter will cost more than one fast horse, Eugene." "O boys, do not quarrel!" entreats their mother.
In after years, when marquises of another caste had been gracious to her, she became a strong Tory, and thought that archduchesses were sweet. But with her, politics were always an affair of the heart, as indeed were all her convictions. Of reasoning from causes I think that she knew nothing."
