And Mr. Linmere carries always about his person enough valuables to tempt a desperate character." "I beg you not to suppose such a dreadful thing!" exclaimed Margie, shuddering; "he will come in the morning, and " "But Hays was positive that he saw him leave the six o'clock train. He described him accurately, even to the saying that he had a bouquet of white camelias in his hand.
Better far to thank heaven for both these women. Saturday, June 11, 1892. She was inspired! The essence of Shakespeare's 'Cleopatra. I went round and implored her to do Juliet. She said she was too old. She can never be old. 'Age cannot wither her. June 18. "Again to see Sarah this time 'La Dame aux Camélias. Fine, marvelous.

It was in the repressed scenes, where the melancholy was sincere, the feeling deeper, and the expression slighter, that he was at his best. "He may be good, but he isn't Romeo," is a favorite type of criticism. But I have seen Duse and Bernhardt in "La Dame aux Camélias," and cannot say which is Marguerite Gauthier.
Through the polished green of the surrounding palms and rubber-plants stared gardenias and camelias; below, between maidenhair and sword-ferns, winked the little waxen blossoms of fuchsias and begonias: at intervals poinsettia flared audaciously among its more quietly dressed neighbors; and, in the far corners the golden spheres were swelling to fairly respectable proportions on the branches of dwarf orange-trees.
