Well for me if I could once more concentrate all my aspirations on a prize within my reach! We went first to see a comedy greatly in vogue, and the author thoroughly understands the French stage of our day. The acting was excellent in its way. The next night we went to the Odeon, a romantic melodrama in six acts, and I know not how many tableaux. I found no fault with the acting there.
Chilly kept his word, and brought an action against me and the Comedie. I lost, and had to pay six thousand francs damages to the managers of the Odeon. A few weeks later Victor Hugo invited the artistes who performed in Ruy Bias to a big supper in honour of the one hundredth performance. This was a great delight to me, as I had never been present at a supper of this kind.
Enter, and for the small sum of ten sous you shall hear sobs such as the Odeon never echoed in its halcyon days. The unhappy woman has waked up to the absurdity and inanity of her blind passion; she confesses to herself that she is madly pursuing a phantom.
He looked at her inquiringly, and she sang softly, "I dwell Too near to God, for doubt or fear, And share the eternal calm." "Where is Harry tonight?" he asked. "He was to sing at the Odeon in the oratorio of 'Samson. I used to go and hear him but I cannot leave the children now." "My dear Lucy, I have come to London specially to talk with you and Harry. I have been made miserable about Harry."
Possibly, in his primitive plan, the author intended to set in contrast the spouse and the nun: and certainly, in the original draft, there was only one bride. In 1842, at the Odeon Theatre, was performed a dramatic piece from the novelist's pen, which by some critics has been considered his best play.

We need but call to mind that Shakspeare's "Othello" was laughed off the stage of the Odéon, owing to the ridiculous ideas the word "napkin" or "handkerchief" called up in the auditory. Nor is the influence of the university in Germany exerted in matters of great national interest only. It pervades the social, literary, and political organization of the people.
Between the first and second parts of this history an immense event had taken place in the life of Phellion. There is no one who has not heard of the misfortunes of the Odeon, that fatal theatre which, for years, ruined all its directors.
I have never given him any rights; if he threatens to provoke my husband to a duel, I have only to say: "Take for your seconds Messrs. Ernest and George de S., who were intoxicated with you at the Odeon," and he will blush with shame, and instantly recognise how odious and ridiculous is his anger. I left Raymond alone in my room reading this letter, and I returned to the saloon to weep bitterly.
Something must be said of a little known score, Struensée, which was written for a drama which was so weak that it prevented the music gaining the success it deserved. The composer showed himself in this more artistic than in anything else he did. It should have been heard at the Odéon with another piece written by Jules Barbier on the same subject.
