Success will depend on Victorien Sardou, and after him on me. So I sign, and thank you for your confidence." I was to leave Paris in three days. My heart was sore at the idea of leaving France, for many sorrowful reasons. But in these Memoirs I have put on one side all that touches the inner part of my life.
Esperance felt more touched by the affectionate admiration of her comrades, than she had been even by the applause the day of the first presentation of Victorien Sardou's play at the Vaudeville. In the afternoon she received the same kind of ovation for her competition for the first prize in comedy. When she came out of the Conservatoire they would have unharnessed her carriage, but Mlle.
Then we decided to rent an apartment of our own, for the next year, and soon we were considering the leases of houses, and finally we arrived at the supreme audacity of negotiating for the purchase of one. We had a great friend in Versailles, Victorien Sardou, the novelist and playwright so honored by the people of France.
Her appearance on the miniature stage where the examinations were held caused a little sensation among the professor-judges. "What a heavenly child!" exclaimed Victorien Sardou. "Here is truly the beauty of a noble race," murmured Delaunay, the well-known member of the Comedie-Francaise. The musical purity of Esperance's voice roused the assembly immediately out of its torpor.
Is he a member of the gang?" Jennings had once witnessed a drama by Victorien Sardou, entitled in the English version Diplomacy. Therein a woman was unmasked by means of a scent.

In fiction Milady and Madame Marneffe come in for first honors in each the leopard crossed on the serpent and united under a petticoat, beautiful and wicked but since the Balzac and Dumas days the story-tellers and stage-mongers have made exceeding free with the type, and we have between Herman Merivale's Stephanie de Mohrivart and Victorien Sardou's Zica a very theater or shall we say a charnel house of the woman with the past; usually portrayed as the victim of circumstance; unprincipled through cruel experience; insensible through lack of conscience; sexless in soul, but a siren in seductive arts; cold as ice; hard as iron; implacable as the grave, pursuing her ends with force of will, intellectual audacity and elegance of manner, yet, beneath this brilliant depravity, capable of self-pity, yielding anon in moments of depression to a sudden gleam of human tenderness and a certain regret for the innocence she has lost.

"'Yes, but not for her managers, remarked Montigny, continuing immediately afterwards the conversation which had been interrupted." This is exactly as Victorien Sardou related the incident.
For example, the career of one of the very best endowed theatrical composers of the nineteenth century, the late Victorien Sardou, has been molded and restricted for all time by the talents of a single star performer, Mme. Sarah Bernhardt.
I was born to do harm... And you will both beseech my mercy on your knees, on your knees, yes, on your knees...
