"Je suis bien sensible, Monsieur, a votre lettre, ou vous m'associez, en des termes qui me touchent profondement, au souvenir de votre fils Richard, mon cher et excellent eleve.

A grand concert was to be given at the Court theatre, in which the fourth act of "Robert le Diable" was to be a principal feature. No one of the singers cared for the part of Alice, as it had but one solo, and in the emergency Herr Berg thought of his unlucky young élève, Jenny Lind, who might be trusted with such a minor responsibility.

"Pray don't hesitate about repeating my words, M'sieur Philomène. I am not ashamed of them." It rests with Madame to carry on the game, and to betray the confidence of Monsieur Dorinet.
