Chief Court

Famous quotes containing the words chief and/or court:

    Who’ll be chief mourner?
    I, said the dove,
    I’ll mourn for my love,
    I’ll be chief mourner.
    Mother Goose (fl. 17th–18th century. Who killed Cock Robin? (L. 33–36)

    Fortunately for those who pay their court through such foibles, a fond mother, though, in pursuit of praise for her children, the most rapacious of human beings, is likewise the most credulous; her demands are exorbitant; but she will swallow any thing.
    Jane Austen (1775–1817)
