ref: 1849 March 17, The Hertford Mercury, and Reformer, Hertfordshire, Beds. Hunts. Bucks. Essex, Cambridge, and Middlesex Advertiser, volume XV, number 745, Hertford: […] Stephen Austin:
text: There is a difference also between a titled husband and his American wife. Why, then, do American women yearn to be a part of such a society, even on its outer fringe? Why do they yearn to be presented at courts which look down on them as successful shopkeepresses? Why do they want their daughters to marry into a circle where they will always be held at arms’ length? Even if they marry dukes they are classed apart as “American duchesses,” and the queen herself sets them carefully aside when selecting her ladies of honor.
ref: 1911 June 16, “American Duchesses”, in The Chico Enterprise, Chico, Calif., page two:
text: This time, I took two tame pets, fed another immediately when I arrived on level four, and the four of us were battling the Kops with fair results when the shopkeepress bullied her way through the crowd to my side. Though I tried to pay the bill of some prior miscreant who had robbed her shop, I didn't have the pelf, and the lady was out for "blood, not money".
