It was she, her very self, the cap protested as she pointed a tragic finger at the swelling, rounded line of her firm bodice it was she who had insisted that the water should not boil; there had been ladies des vraies anglaises here, only last summer, who would not that the water should boil, when their tea was made.
That many of his stories were in the best sense "lived" there can be no doubt he has at odd times confessed it, confessions painfully wrung from him, as he is no friend of the interviewer. The white-hot sharpness of the impressions which he has projected upon paper recalls Taine's dictum: "les sensations sont des hallucinations vraies."

At the supper on the stage after the hundredth performance, Sarah Bernhardt was present. She said nice things to me, and I was enraptured that my "vraies larmes" should have pleased and astonished her! I noticed that she hardly ever moved, yet all the time she gave the impression of swift, butterfly movement. While talking to Henry she took some red stuff out of her bag and rubbed it on her lips!
