Mia madre aveva detto il Ruy-Blas…”. ; “… Je m’adresse à l’ami d’antan qui m’a vue fillette et que je voudrais tant avoir près de moi demain soir. Car c’est une rude bataille que je dois livrer et si j’ai le bonheur d’en sortir voir que en j… victoire ne me rendre plus fière et heureuse – Être consacrée par le public qui m’a crée c’est un rêve d’or…”.
