A celebrated French actress, Mademoiselle George is repeatedly associated with the theatrical world and its celebrated men. At a drawing-room gathering, she becomes the room’s dramatic center, reciting French verses with stern intensity while young admirers cluster around her. Her imposing performance gives her a memorable presence, though the novel offers little of her life beyond the public persona.
Description
Mademoiselle George is described as stout, with bare, full arms whose dimples are plainly visible. A red shawl falls over one shoulder, lending a bright accent to her period dress. Her face is animated by a stern, gloomy expression, rolling eyes, and the controlled shifts of a practiced performer. She carries herself with theatrical command, at once imposing and vividly expressive.
