Chapter XV
“As I was saying,” continued Miss Schönberg, over her _coupe marron_, “vitality is everything. I once saw Mary Garden at a rehearsal on a stage cluttered by the jumbled scenery of Pelléas and Melisande. There were scores of people on the stage ... carpenters, musicians, a director, journalists ... all alive and moving about, but one didn’t see them. One saw only Mary moving back and forth, in and out among them. No one else existed.
