Oh, and I had to look up espieglerie, but they used a Wodehouse quote in the definition on Wiktionary.
1960, P. G. Wodehouse, Jeeves in the Offing, chapter XII:
I yield to no one in my appreciation of her espieglerie, but I'm one of the rabbits and always have been while she is about as pronounced a dasher as ever dashed. What I like is the quiet life, and Roberta Wickham wouldn't recognize the quiet life if you brought it to her on a plate with watercress round it. She's all for not letting the sun go down without having started something calculated to stagger humanity.
