Madame Sembrich delights in the opera "Traviata" because of its intense action.
"But I like, too, the lighter operas. The merriment of 'Rosina' amuses me as I act it."
One more question was asked as her visitor arose to go.
"Is it true, Madame Sembrich, that you walk two hours every day?"
"Yes," she answered good-humoredly. "I had just returned to-day when you came. I started at eleven and got home at one."
Regular and rigorous in her daily life even yet! Upon meeting Madame Sembrich, one receives an impression of graciousness and greatness not to be forgotten.
