company they keep
Laughed at qualities she could not
comprehend
Les culottes--what do you call them?'
'Small clothes'
Listeners never hear any good of
themselves
Madame made the Treaty of Sienna
Many an aching heart rides in a
carriage
Mind well stored against human
casualties
Money the universal lever, and you are
in want of it
More dangerous to attack the habits of
men than their religion
My little English protegee
No phrase becomes a proverb until after

Offering you the spectacle of my

Panegyric of the great Edmund Burke
upon Marie Antoinette
Pension is granted on condition that

Traducing virtues the slanderers never
possessed
Underrated what she could not imitate
We look upon you as a cat, or a dog,
and go on talking
We say "inexpressibles"
