 The Scarlet Pimpernel -- Chapter 8   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Marguerite was grateful to her husband for all this; she always tried to be grateful to him for his thoughtfulness, which was constant, and for his generosity, which really was boundless.
Marguerite remembered it all: what her brother must have suffered in his manhood and his pride must have been appalling; what she suffered through him and with him she never attempted even to analyse.
Marguerite, impulsive, thoughtless, not calculating the purport of her words, still smarting under the terrible insult her brother had suffered at the Marquis' hands, happened to hear--amongst her own coterie--that the St. Cyrs were in treasonable correspondence with Austria, hoping to obtain the Emperor's support to quell the growing revolution in their own country.

 Marguerite Long plays Faure[JW]: Classical CD Reviews- December 2003 MusicWeb(UK)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
One of the most prestigious figures in French pianism, Marguerite Long was a formidable presence at the Paris Conservatoire.
Though at some moments one may be inclined to doubt it, the tonal unanimity in unison string passages is still entirely convincing and the performance sensitively shaped, the Scherzo being especially fluent and fast before it sinks into a veil of impressionism, illuminated by Vieux’s tortuous viola line.
In all this Long plays her part but in the Adagio one can detect a certain hardness in her tone, certainly in comparison with the string statements; she’s also quite straight in her phrasing, and not quite on the same level of nuance or subtlety as her colleagues.

 Marguerite Porete   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
In the second deliberation against her on May 9, 1310, she refused to take the oath or respond to the inquisitors, and was reprimanded for ignoring and defying the Bishop of Cambrai, and was branded a relapsed heretic.
It in fact appears that Marguerite, without intending to be, was the fountainhead and inventor/inspirer of this heresy, a heresiarchess of the most brilliant and dangerous kind.
No such rehabilitation by the Roman Catholic authorities is likely, or even desirable, for Marguerite Porete in the modern world; from the gathered ashes of her defamation and oblivion, an inferno has already begun in the hearts of those who remember her and observe her teachings.

 Democrat and Chronicle -- Entertainment -- Rochester, NY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Marguerite Long, the noted French piano pedagogue who taught Entremont at the Paris Conservatory in the 1940s, described the French style as “lucid, precise and slender.” For the French, elegance and moderation were all-important.
It was from Long that he learned that French style, but he admits today that he had great difficulty with this celebrated teacher.
Long was one of those old-school teachers who believed there were two ways to play music — her French way and the wrong way — and she couldn't understand Entremont's growing interest in Russian music.
