Usage examples of "fayette".

This Marquis de La Fayette, a member of the—no, a founder of the Club of the Feuillants, which was almost the same as saying he was a declared traitor to King Charles.

Of course they exiled La Fayette to Canada, where he could do little harm.

The Marquis de La Fayette was like a pianoforte that had but a single key.

And the Marquis de La Fayette, supposedly the supreme governor of all Canada south and west of Quebec, didn’t seem to mind at all.

If Frederic’s father ever got back into King Charles’s good graces, Frederic would see to it that La Fayette was the first aristocrat to feel the Guillotin knife.

Sure enough, within moments he was talking again about Stephenson’s steam engine, which La Fayette was convinced would replace the horse.

He had built some in England or Scotland or somewhere, but now he was in America, and do you think La Fayette would invite Stephenson to build his steam wagons in Canada?

Oh, no—La Fayette was quite content to let him build them for the Irrakwa, mumbling some idiotic excuse like: The Irrakwa are already using steam engines for their spinning wheels, and all the coal is on the American side—but Frederic de Maurepas knew the truth.

La Fayette believed that the steam engine, pulling cars on railed roads, would make commerce and travel infinitely faster and cheaper—and he thought it would be better for the world if it were built within the borders of a democracy!

Of course Frederic did not believe the engines would ever be as fast as horses, but that didn’t matter—La Fayette did believe in them, and so the fact that he didn’t bring them to Canada was pure treason.

Either that or La Fayette could hear other men’s thoughts—Frederic had heard rumors that La Fayette had a knack for that.

Anyway, La Fayette laughed aloud and said, “Frederic, if I had Stephenson build his railroad in Canada, you’d have me cashiered for wasting money on nonsense.

The officers stepped back, and from their position by the railing of the canal barge de Maurepas and La Fayette could see him step off the Marie-Philippe onto the wharf.

Naturally, La Fayette spent the first afternoon telling Bonaparte all about Stephenson’s steam engine.

If La Fayette wanted to be treated like a marquis, he should insist on protocol.
