"The 'Souvenir d'Eperies. Now I comprehend Bernasconi's illness. She felt ill through patriotism, that this adroit countrywoman of hers might have the opportunity of being remarked by your majesty. I would not be at all surprised if she went out of the way of prima donnas to attract your majesty's attention. These Polish women are fanatics in their love of country."
She is a dear friend of Bernasconi's, who speaks of her singing with enthusiasm." "Is that possible? Does one singer go into raptures over another? By all means let us hear the phoenix." The king looked toward the stage, and his countenance assumed at once an expression of genuine interest. Once more the orchestra began the introduction to Gluck's beautiful aria.
Bernasconi's contract, in 1801, for the repair of part of the west end, amounting to £232 14s. 6d., probably covered the whole of this. A note on the receipt speaks of a picture at the east end in 1800, a pulpit in 1806, and a new window in 1808; but whether all these were new or merely repaired does not appear.
