Household Troops

Famous quotes containing the words household and/or troops:

    “Except that household virtue, most uncommon,
    Of constancy to a bad, ugly woman.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “Nearly all the bands are mustered out of service; ours therefore is a novelty. We marched a few miles yesterday on a road where troops have not before marched. It was funny to see the children. I saw our boys running after the music in many a group of clean, bright-looking, excited little fellows.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
