Consequently, the authors of the festive contributions strive to put forth particularly critical 'attacks' indirectly, with clever wording, or with a wink.

Satterthwaite is uneasy as he leaves Gillian, feeling that the appearance of Quin at Covent Garden must mean that there is unusual business afoot, but he cannot place exactly what is going to happen.

Spartacus Educational > Biography, quote from Portrait of a Marriage (1973) Vita Sackville-West in 1916 Following the pattern of his father's career, Harold Nicolson was at various times a diplomat, journalist, broadcaster, Member of Parliament, and author of biographies and novels. After the wedding the couple lived in Cihangir, a suburb of Constantinople (now Istanbul), the capital of the Ottoman Empire.

Considering everything happening to him and going on around him, he has a very patient but long-suffering nature, and he accepts being put upon by Ms. Smith (and later the girls of the MON squad) with good grace, but he does care very much about his house-guests' well-being. He rarely shows any anger towards anyone, especially the girls, but when he does he demonstrates a surprisingly strong assertiveness, two of the most notorious examples occurring first because the Couple (see "Supporting Characters" below) insulted Miia and second because Lala was playing with her food instead of eating it - which prompted all the others to ensure that they clean their plates from then on.

Ball at the Tuileries in 1867 In his work concerning Prévost, Gustave Massé talked about his discussions with Louis- Alphonse Hyrvoix, former chief of Napoleon III's cent-gardes who, as such, watched the guests at the balls, parties and receptions that took place at the Tuileries Palace. Despite the precautions, undesirables and women of "high gallantry" managed to slip in. At the Ball of Tuileries in 1867, Hyrvoix noticed a fair-skinned woman, dressed in a simple but tasteful manner, on the arm of an embassy attaché to whom she asked many questions, while taking notes in a small notebook. Located by police officers who escorted her out of the ball, she was subjected to an interrogation, to which she bowed with good grace: it turned out that the young woman was a 35-year-old rich widow from a good family, who traveled all over Europe, sometimes in male costumes, who sorted all of her travels in a chronicle she addressed to a Parisian newspaper under the pseudyonym "Furet".
