Murray and his mother were sitting on a sofa, the former engaged in cutting the leaves of a new book, and Estelle Harding was describing in glowing terms a scene in "Phedre," which owed its charm to Rachel's marvelous acting.

It was this that made him so bold in railing at those authors qui mettent leur Apollon aux gages d'un libraire, and he declared that he had only inserted these verses, Je sai qu'un noble esprit peut sans honte et sans crime Tirer de son travail un tribut légitime, to console Racine, who had received some profits from the printing of his tragedies.
