"Fils" Quotes from Famous Books
 ... Everything went into it, good or bad, and the name of Dumas was expected to make all current coin.

The newspaper, the book, the theatre, burst asunder, too narrow for your puissant shoulders; you fed France, ...

His descent on Flanders eclipsed his march on Milan. "Mon fils," he said to Charles, "vous allez tromper les Francais, et moi, je vais tromper les Anglais."[233] So far from breaking the Treaty of Noyon, he (p. 094) joined it himself, and at Brussels solemnly swore to observe its provisions.

He first came into notice by pictures like La Lecture du Bible, La Malediction Paternelle, or Le Fils Puni, which are now to be seen—though generally passed by—at the Louvre, and his style was imitated in later years in England by Wheatley and others of that school with more or less success.
