Famous quotes containing the word duchess:
“It’s worth living abroad to study up on genteel and delicate manners. The maid smiles continuously; she smiles like a duchess on a stage, while at the same time it is clear from her face that she is exhausted from overwork.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
