This page enables one to trace the blooming of the Jersey Lily from the
bud to the full flower; from the lovely Miss Le Breton, the daughter of
the Dean, to the newly-married bride, and from the belle of London
drawing-rooms to the charming actress who has won on both sides of the
world applause which is not gained by loveliness alone, even when, like
Mrs. Langtry's, it is of that rare kind, statuesque yet blooming, which
is adapted equally to represent the chiselled grace of Galatea, or the
burning beauty of the Queen of Egypt.
