, keeper and nurse-maid did not sue
coed in ~quenching this dramatic
flame. By the time she was fifteen,
Nelson could recite measurably well
the various Shakespearian roles that
were to be her vehicles to fame.
1t was at fifteen hat Adelaide
took the step that was to change her
whole life: she ran away from home.
Carefully boarded pennies took her
to London and soon left her there
without resources. There was no one
who might befriend her-nothing to
which she might turn but a lone and
uncomfortable bench in Hyde Park
where she fell asleep one day out Of
sheer exhaustion.
Via a public house In the Hay
market where she served drinks be-
hind a bar. Nelson achieved the
stage-first. in the humble capacity
OF ballet dancer at a small London
theatre. John Ryder, a friend Of the
famous Macready. attracted by her
unspoiled charm and earnest desire
to succeed. coached her in various
roles and corrected her Yorkshire
accent.

smitten with the lightness. grace and
youth Of Nelson's portrayal. Nor
was she lacking in the tragic depths
that the part called for.
Nelson's New York reception in
1872 duplicated her triumphs in Lon
don. She returned to make three
successful tours Of America. At her
farewell performance she said: 1T
seems l am leaving not only friends
but happiness itself: that the skies
can never again be as bright as they
have been to me here. nor flowers
bloom as beautifully. nor music
sound as sweetly any more"
This was a truer prophecy than
any thought who had crowded into
the theatre to bid farewell to the
visiting star. Nelson was taken sud

France to recuperate. died suddenly
