And now, the course of our narrative brings us back, once more, to Clairville Cottage, where Mdlle. Lind arrived, after her long sojourn in Stockholm, on the 21st of April, 1848; and where, a few hours afterwards, Mrs. Grote found her, "looking well, and in gay cheerful mood, anticipating, with agreeable feelings, the coming months of her stay."
Her Majesty's Theatre opened, for the season of 1848, on Saturday, the 19th of February; and it was confidently expected that Mdlle. Lind's return to the boards on which she had won so many laurels would take place on Saturday, the 29th of April, immediately after the Easter recess; but, at her own request, the event was postponed, until the 4th of May.
