I have had designs sent me from London, Boulak and New York." "Those would, of course, be more reliable." "No, nothing is so reliable as one's intuition. I have also studied in the Egyptian Museum of the Louvre. It is full of enchanting things. And a god, Bes, who looks like Sarcey! My goodness, how beautiful it all is!" "Pardon me, but I do not yet quite understand " "I haven't finished.
It was answered by M. Sarcey, who criticised the character and quality of the work achieved. Public opinion has a long time since brought in quite another verdict in the case. Halevy's cooperation endowed the plays of Meilhac with a fuller ethical richness tempered them, so to speak, and made them real, for it can not be denied that Meilhac was inclined to extravagance.
Very great zeal was shown throughout Paris for hospital service. French military hospitals and the service connected with them are called "ambulances." "We were all full of recollections," says M. de Sarcey, "of the exertions made on both sides in the American Civil War. Our model hospital was formed on the American Plan."

Sarah Bernhardt cry out with the piercing accent which she put into her words that evening, 'I will not die, I will not die! it would weep with her." Sarcey finished an admirable critique with these words: "She is prodigious!"
Sarcey, in his article in the Temps, consecrated five columns of praises to me, and finished his article with these words: "Nothing, nothing can ever take the place of this last act of Adrienne Lecouvreur at the Comedie.
