Ladies

Famous quotes containing the word ladies:

    Fine knacks for ladies, cheap, choice, brave and new,
    Good pennyworths,—but money cannot move:
    I keep a fair but for the Fair to view,—
    A beggar may be liberal of love.
    Though all my wares be trash, the heart is true,
    —Unknown. Fine Knacks for Ladies (l. 7–8)

    It was not exactly a hairdresser’s; that is to say, people of a coarse and vulgar turn of mind might have called it a barber’s; for they not only cut and curled ladies elegantly, and children carefully, but shaved gentlemen easily.
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    The eleventh day of Christmas,
    My true love sent to me
    Eleven ladies dancing,
    —Unknown. The Twelve Days of Christmas (l. 76–78)
