Before she goes to bed she thanks Irving for the great pleasure given to her and her friends that afternoon. Madame Mounet and her friend were carried away by their sympathy although Mme Mounet does not speak English.

| Content Summary: |
He went straight from the Lyceum that afternoon to see Mounet [Sully] who is laid up with a bad leg. He dwelt on two things: missing seeing Irving in 'The Merchant of Venice' and 'The Bells' and on his nervousness at playing 'Hamlet'. For him there were only two great actors living - Irving and Salvini. He was very interested in the management of 'The Bells' which went for nothing when Gôt played Mathias. |
