- I asked him if he could write poetry in English.
- The Emperor came up to me and asked, "What does chickabiddy mean?"
- I ventured to ask, "Is it because one is attached to a post?"
- The Emperor burst out laughing and said, "He is hopeless."
- I preferred Pierrefonds, with its gargoyles and its hard, carved chairs.

- We all said in unison: "Ask for their cards. Who can they be?"
- I felt overwhelmed at such a keen appreciation of my politeness.
- I asked him, "How is the baby?"
- I said, "When you get settled in your hotel I will come and see you."
- I thought we never would arrive!
- I mourned the beautiful and stately Lebanon cedar!
- I answered that I was obliged to leave Paris for different reasons.
- I answered, "Yes."
- I replied I was, and _in petto_--mighty glad I was to be so.
- I repeated that my affairs required my presence elsewhere.
- I considered this extremely diplomatic.
- I thought I should faint!
- Félix Pyat said, "How do we know that this is your carriage?"
- I replied that it was.
- We all say in unison, "Your play, Countess!"
- We show her the trump card on the table and say together, "Hearts."
- She: "What dreadful cards! Indeed, I cannot play."
- Mr. Moulton: "Well! that's not so bad."
- Mr. Moulton: "Why did you play trumps?"
- She: "What, again! Why does some one else not play?"
- Some one said, "You have all the aces."
- She: "Oh! not all; I have not the ace of hearts."
