We had the regular quadrille d'honneur with the Princes and Princesses of Wales, Denmark, Sweden, Countess of Flanders, and others.

I remember one of my first visits to a well-known Legitimist countess in the Faubourg St. Germain; I went on her reception day, a thing all young women are most particular about in Paris.

The countess was taken ill on her way to Ravenna, and thither Byron followed her, and lived in the same palace with her,the palace of her husband, who courted the poet's society, and who afterward left his young countess to free intercourse with Byron at Bologna,not without a compensation in revenue, which was more disgraceful than the amour itself.

Lafeu, who came to fetch him, tried to comfort the countess for the loss of her late lord, and her son's sudden absence; and he said, in a courtier's flattering manner, that the king was so kind a prince, she would find in his majesty a husband, and that he would be a father to her son: meaning only that the good king would befriend the fortunes of Bertram.

A mutual innocence being now established, the Lady Digby did by way of apology peck the Countess on the cheek.

" "Princes, profane one!" exclaimed the countess with a laugh"princes, not princesses!"

But perhaps you will only too soon have new pretensions, and the Countess by new disputes will doubtless re-animate your liaison.

But the womenwhy, Rudolph, there was an Italian countess at Romethe impudent minx!who actually made me believeHowever, Jack explained all that, after I had made both a spectacle and a nuisance of myself, and he had behaved so nobly in the entire affair that for days afterwards I was positively limp with repentance.

She had hardly uttered the words when Madame La Mothe interrupted the pair with the warning the Countesses of Provence and Artois were approaching.

He presently left Steinmetz and the prince engaged in a controversy with the countess as to a meeting-place at the luncheon-hour.

We had been announced to the Countess from Berlin a week before; she and her amiable sister received us as a brother and sister beloved in the Lord.

The sisterly friendship of Louisa Manvers had been a source of real gratification to both the Earl St. Eval and his Countess during their travels, more particularly now, when the health of the latter required such kindly tending.

He'd have been sorely shocked to wake up sober in his earldom some fine morning and find a countess beside him ready-made to his hand.

This impression grew as I watched the attitude of the countess toward her husband.

I would not if I were a Countess like her; so she said those were often the very ones one was obliged to have, because the nice men wouldn't come without them.

The Count of Solems, and this from his faire Countess About compounding of a busines: I did it and I had their thancks.

As he turned to do his duty by an elderly countess near him, he stifled a sighthat was also an imprecation.
