About this book
The Idol of Paris by Sarah Bernhardt is arranged in parts headed PART ONE: PARIS, PART TWO: BRUSSELS, PART THREE: THE COUNTRY and PART FOUR: THE CHÂTEAU. Chapter I has all the Darbois family gathered together about the round table in the dining-room of a fine house on the Boulevard Raspail. A speaker says that the longing for the theatre is stronger than can be told, and that it would have made the speaker unhappy if papa had refused his permission.
At the Conservatoire several women are waiting to have their daughters entered for the course. The text describes Genevieve as dark, with regular features, framed by a mass of heavy black hair, and Esperance as shell pink, aureoled by her wavy blonde hair. The text mentions the Duke de Castel-Montjoie, seen from a distance, who had some difficulty in making his escape, having had to help his mother, the Duchess, with the last farewells.
