'At all events I should prepare them here for the possibility of my going away suddenly, said Nicholas; 'I should lose no time in doing that. As the thought occurred to him, he took up his hat and hurried to the green-room.
"I'd rather be applauded for my talent," said her rival in the green-room. "A natural desire in an actress who has never been applauded at all," remarked Florine. During the evening Florine's maid installed her in Raoul's apartment in the Passage Sandrie. Raoul himself was to encamp in the house where the office of the new journal was established.

"Now, look at yourself, and, for my sake, prove an honor to your country and a terror to the foe," said Lucy, as she led her protégée before the green-room mirror on the first night of "The Demon's Daughter, or The Castle of the Sun!! The most Magnificent Spectacle ever produced upon the American Stage!!!"
