27 X: "I don't know what you mean." Y: "Everything of the most dishonourable.": The Marquis of Vidal (Y) to Sophia Challoner (X)

65 "There is a corpse somewhere on the road to town. ___ does not want it there. Remove it.": The Marquis of Vidal talking to one of the footmen at Lady Montague's drum about a footpad he shot. The caring person is Mr Fox (the famed politician)

75 Three women were mistaken for abigails/maids: which books, who were they, and under what circumstances?

It did not seem as though an appeal to this scornful lady would be of avail. Miss Challoner said steadily: "I find you impertinent, my good woman. I am English, travelling to rejoin my friends in the neighbourhood, and although I am aware that the loss of my baggage must appear strange to you --"

"Vastly strange, mademoiselle, I assure you. The English are all mad, sans doute, but we have had many of them at the Rayon d'Or, and they are no so mad that they permit their ladies to journey alone on the diligence. Come, now, be off with you! There is no lodging for you here, I can tell you. Such a tale! If you are English, you will be some serving-maid, very likely dismissed for some fault. The Chat Griz will give you a bed.
