* I won'be an actress!' You don'know what an actress is.' ' Oh yes, I do. Rachel is an actress. She once came to the convent, and had to sit down because she could not get her breath. They fetched her something to bring her round. I felt very sorry for her, and Sister St. Appoline told me what she did was killing her, for she was an actress; and so I won'be an actress-I won't! '
