Lady Dormer

Famous quotes containing the words lady and/or dormer:

    ... it was not very unusual at Washington for a lady to take the arm of a gentleman, who was neither her husband, her father, nor her brother. This remarkable relaxation of American decorum has been probably introduced by the foreign legations.
    Frances Trollope (1780–1863)

    Many people come into company full of what they intend to say in it themselves, without the least regard to others; and thus charged up to the muzzle are resolved to let it off at any rate.
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
