"What are these, Madeleine? jewel-cases?" "They were my mother's diamonds. They have been in the family, I can hardly tell you for how many generations." "Do let me see them." Bertha opened one of the cases.
Malibran must have been so lovely from her sensibility and passion, so commanding from the majesty of her voice, that the art and not the woman must have found newer worshippers with every new audience. I hope to hear Cinto Damoreau this week.
