Once and English friend found her sitting on the steps of a bathing machine on the sea sands with a Bible on her knee, looking out into the glory of a sunset. They talked, and the conversation drew near to the inevitable question :"Oh Madame Goldschmidt, how is it that you came to abandon the stage at the very height of your success?"
"When every day", was the quiet answer, "it made me think less of this (laying a finger in the Bible) and nothing at all of that (pointing to the sunset), what else could I do?"
