There's no denying I'm effective," she admitted tartly, and stepped down and stood for a moment shivering as if she had done something distasteful. And then climbed on to the chair again. "In evening dress, like the one Sarah Bernhardt wore in La Dame aux Camélias, I dare say I could look all right with a fan a big fan of ostrich feathers."
As to what he saw, after 'Salome, he remembered vividly only three pictures Elise Delaunay's two a portrait and a workshop interior before which he stood, lost in naive wonder at her talent; and the head of a woman, with a thin pale face, reddish-brown hair, and a look of pantherish grace and force, which he was told was the portrait of an actress at the Odeon who was making the world stare Mademoiselle Bernhardt.
Octave Feuillet was appealed to, and he got up in his turn. "I grant that Mademoiselle Croizette is very beautiful in her moon effect. Mademoiselle Sarah Bernhardt is ideal too, with her ray of moonlight. I want the moon therefore for both of them." Perrin could not control his anger.
The pleasure which we get from seeing her as Francesca or as Marguerite Gautier is doubled by that other pleasure, never completely out of our minds, that she is also Sarah Bernhardt. One sometimes forgets that Réjane is acting at all; it is the real woman of the part, Sapho, or Zaza, or Yanetta, who lives before us.
The latter book, as its title suggests, was not intended as a compliment; and Sarah Bernhardt brought an action against the writer, by which she was compelled to expunge from her scandalous volume all that was offensive. The rest of Sarah's career is too recent to be traced in detail.
Perhaps they were hoping like the Englishman who followed the lion-tamer to see him devoured by his lions! Vitu in the Figaro had finished one of his bitter articles with these words: "But we have heard enough, surely, of Mlle. Sarah Bernhardt! Let her go abroad with her monotonous voice and her funereal fantasies! Here we have nothing new to learn from her talents or her caprices...."
Here Sir Tilton coming up, decidedly objected to the move, wishing to monopolise Vaura. "You are cruel, Lady Esmondet; ask Miss Vernon, if I have not been more amusing than the Sphynx. You know," he said audaciously, "we actually did not see the little by-play between the rivals Mlle. Croizette and Sara Bernhardt, which is a proof we were not doing badly in the way of entertaining each other."
I consider myself woman enough to decide whom I like, better than any one else, whether you call that old enough to marry, or not. But let me tell you what mamma said to-day, when she caught me kissing the album. 'Bertha Levy' and oh! she looked so straight and solemn at me that I almost trembled 'Bertha Levy, are you going to make yourself ridiculous about that strolling player, Asher Bernhardt?
Sarah Bernhardt herself, dark blue upon pale, was a trifle compared to Musa on the columns. And it had been so for days. Paris was being familiarised with Musa.
Bernhardt gave me two pictures, painted by herself, which she sent me from Paris." Reference has already been made to the callers upon Edison; and to give simply the names of persons of distinction would fill many pages of this record.
