At the end of the year I won the second prize.

I would have had the first except for my youth and the inconvenience of having me leave a class where I needed to stay longer.
That same year Madeleine Brohan won the first prize in comedy.

She competed with a selection from _Misanthrope_, and Mlle.

Jouassin gave the other part of the dialogue.Mlle.

Jouassin's technique was the better, but Madeleine Brohan was so wonderful in beauty and voice that she carried off the prize.
