Of Lady Grant Cecilia had become much afraid, as thinking it more than probable that her secret might be known. But it had seemed that as yet Lady Grant knew nothing of it.

He wished that before he called he had realized more fully than he did the pleasure of being about to call; and turned away.

Like almost all the performers belonging to the Opera Comique, she delivers ill the dialogue, or such sentences as are not set to music. As she frequently strains her acting, persons deficient in taste are pleased to bestow on her the epithet of great as an actress. However, she played Medee in a lyric tragedy of that name; but such a Medea was never seen!
