About this book
Mrs. Christie is remembered for her passion for Sir Walter Scott and the Waverley Novels, and for promising the narrator and others that they would read those books when older. The recollections describe discussions between Chérie and Mrs. Christie about which English books the girls should be allowed to read in the country. The narrator recalls a first Latin lesson on the day after an eighth birthday, beginning with a question about answering a knock at the door.
The acknowledgments say that an article on Sarah Bernhardt has been rewritten for the book. The discussion of Sarah Bernhardt says her first performance as Adrienne Lecouvreur in London brought a complete triumph among the critical. A cited article by Sarcey raves about the performance he had traveled to London to see and says an audience in Paris would have shown boundless enthusiasm.
