With the young Rachel it was a law. Accordingly, her performance that night completely effaced the impression of her former failure. It even threw aU her previous suc- cesses into shade. The audience were in raptures. She was recalled at the end of the play with frantic applause, and an avalanche of bouquets descended upon her in such profusion that they had to be removed by the servants of the theatre. After the play M. Vedel repaired to her dressing-room, when, making her way through the crow...d of voluble admirers that fiUed it, she threw herself into his arms, exclaiming, ' Thanks ! thanks ! I felt sure that you were right.' From this point Rachel's position as the foremost actress of her class was secure, and as she gained in physical strength and in experience, her hold upon her audiences became gi'eater and greater ; for in these early days she prosecuted her studies with HER PERSONAL APPEARANCE 221 enthusiasm, and her heart was filled with high aspirations after an exalted ideal.
