There will be no peace between us until I have made my debut. After that, we'll see." They both laughed; and then Duthil, by way of paying his court, told her how good-naturedly Dauvergne, the new Minister of Public Instruction and Fine Arts, had adjusted the difficulties which had hitherto kept the doors of the Comedie closed upon her.
She wore a blue cotton frock, and a brown mushroom hat, with a wreath of wild roses which had somewhat too obviously been sewn on in a hurry and crookedly; and she looked far more like a village schoolgirl than a young lady who was shortly to make her début in London society.
The injustice of a lot of hateful, snuffy old men deciding on what sort of underclothes a young girl shall wear!... And I will make my début! I will! I will!" "Dearest " "Yes, I will! I'll write to them and complain of Mr. Tappan's stingy, unjust treatment of us both " "Let me do the writing, dear," said Kathleen quietly.
Having by this time regularly installed herself as the exponent of the Long-pursued as one who, by no initiative of his own, had been chosen by some superior Power as the vehicle of her next debut, she attracted him by the cadences of her voice; she would suddenly drop it to a rich whisper of roguishness, when the slight rural monotony of its narrative speech disappeared, and soul and heart or what seemed soul and heart resounded.
"Monsieur le docteur is a leetle pale. One is always nervous at one's debut. You never act before, hein?" "Not in a theatre like this," he said. And he felt a momentary satisfaction because she knew that his answer had a meaning which she did not understand. She persisted. "Monsieur Cosgrave say you would not come.

Nothing, however, was less probable than that they would cross the Atlantic on the eve of Verena's projected début at the Music Hall.
The course he adopted on the occasion, whether dictated by management, or the effect of accident, was, however, well calculated to attract attention to his debut as a public man.
Early in September, when I had parted from him to go to Paris, I left him methodically and industriously arranging for his début. He had brought some letters, mainly to newspaper people, and was already making progress toward what might be called the interior circles of the press, which are so essential to the success of a newcomer in London.
Lord Earle took possession of his town mansion, and his daughters prepared for their debut. It was in every respect a successful one. People were in raptures with the beautiful sisters, both so charming yet so unlike. Beatrice, brilliant and glowing, her magnificent face haunted those who saw it like a beautiful dream Lillian, fair and graceful, as unlike her sister as a lily to a rose.
