- 1918, Marcel Proust, chapter 2, in À l’ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs [In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower] (À la recherche du temps perdu)[1]:
- Toujours est-il que les Simonet s’étaient, paraît-il, toujours irrités comme d’une calomnie quand on doublait leur n. Ils avaient, d’être les seuls Simonet avec un n au lieu de deux, autant de fierté peut-être que les Montmorency d’être les premiers barons de France.
- Still, it seems that the Simonets never failed, it appeared, to be annoyed by the calumny of anyone doubling the 'n'. They wore the air of being the only Simonets in the world with one 'n' instead of two, and were as proud of it, perhaps, as the Montmorencies were of being the premier barons of France.
