George Eliot to Mrs. Charles Bray, 15 February 1850. “You know that George Sand writes for the theatre? Her François le Champi, une comédie, is simplicity and purity itself. The seven devils are cast out. We are going to have more acting here on Wednesday. M. Chancel's talent makes Maman's soirées quite brilliant. You will be amused to hear that I am sitting for my portrait -- at M. D'Albert's request -- not mine. If it turns out well, I shall long to steal it to give to you -- but M. D'Albert talks of painting a second [ten words deleted] and in that case I shall certainly beg one.” GEL 1: 330
