  Philibert, Comte De Gramont - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
de Gramont, viceroy of Navarre, was the son of Henry IV., and regretted that he had not claimed the privileges of royal birth.
Moreover Gramont, though he had a reputation for wit, was no writer, and there is no reason to suppose that he was capable of producing a work which remains a masterpiece of style and of witty portraiture.
Hamilton was far superior to the comte de Gramont, but he relates the story of his hero without comment, and no condemnation of the prevalent code of morals is allowed to appear, unless in an occasional touch of irony.

 Antoine Agenor Alfred Gramont - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
His grandfather, Antoine Louis Marie, duc de Gramont (1755-1836), had emigrated during the Revolution, and his father, Antoine Heraclius Genevieve Agenor (1789-1855), duc de Gramont and de Guiche, fought under the British flag in the Peninsular War, became a lieutenantgeneral in the French army in 1823, and in 1830 accompanied Charles X. to Scotland.
The younger generation, however, were Bonapartist in sympathy; Gramont's cousin Antoine Louis Raymond, comte de Gramont (1787-1825), though also the son of an emigre, served with distinction in Napoleon's armies, while Antoine Agenor, duc de Gramont, owed his career to his early friendship for Louis Napoleon.
It was Gramont who pointed out to the emperor, on the evening of the 12th, the dubious circumstances of the act of renunciation, and on the same night, without informing M. 0111vier, despatched to Benedetti at Ems the fatal telegram demanding the king of Prussia's guarantee that the candidature would not be revived.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Eugenie de Gramont
Her father, the Count de Gramont d'Aster, was attached to the Court of Louis XVI; he had married a daughter of the Count de Boisgelin, maid of honour to Queen Marie Antoinette.
In 1815, notwithstanding her youth and the drawback of a slight physical deformity, Mother de Gramont was placed in charge of the first school of the Sacred Heart, opened in Paris, Rue des Postes, afterwards transferred to the Rue de Varenne.
She knew the weak side of Mother de Gramont's character as well as her great gifts, and she was not deceived as to the dangers of a mind which was too receptive of strong influences and very difficult to disillusion.

As you might expect, the protagonists in de Gramont’s deft portraits tend to begin by feeling a little closer to the smaller, fur-covered creatures than to the human ones, and sometimes they end that way as well.
De Gramont’s people blossom, separate, and learn to love again and again, and often their cats act as catalysts for emotional growth.
De Gramont focuses instead on the little conflicts, the misread cues of a lover who, say, can no more give up his cheesy pornography than his cat can stop killing birds but who loves his fiancée nonetheless.

 CancerNetwork:
However, last year, Dr. de Gramont’s bimonthly regimen of leucovorin and a bolus plus IV infusion of 5-FU given over 2 days was shown to have efficacy superior to that of the NCCTG/Mayo regimen.
The bimonthly regimen, Dr. de Gramont said, requires hospitalization for a higher-dose 5-FU bolus and initiation of a programmable infusion pump that goes home with the patient.
Overall, side effects were acceptable, Dr. de Gramont said, with moderate increases in the usual 5-FU toxicities and frequent asymptomatic neutropenia, which imposed dose reductions or cycle delays.

 Prince of Sunset by Steven White - Chapter 2 - Baen Books
As usual, Gramont had let his voice trail off soporifically before striking like an adder with the name of his current victim.
Even this late in the course, there was a faint rustling sound of unease in the room at hearing the Empire's past treated with the irreverence that Gramont habitually displayed.
Dead silence fell in the room, partly because they were supposed to avoid all mention of current politics (and especially of the conflict whose inevitability was still officially denied), but mostly because Rady had done the unforgivable by speaking without being recognized by the instructor.
