But some of these papers, which I have seen, come down in style to the very humblest comprehension." "Can it be," asked Flocon, "that there is such a club as a society for the diffusion of social knowledge in Paris, after the form of that in London, instituted by Lord Henry Brougham and his Whig coadjutors, for the diffusion of general information, and so opposed by the Tories."
When we want her we shall be able to lay hands on her, I do not doubt, madame may rest assured." "Pray take no trouble in the matter. I certainly should not keep her." "Very well, very well. And now, another small matter. I see," he referred to the rough plan of the sleeping-car prepared by M. Floçon, "I see that you occupied the compartment d, with berths Nos. 9 and 10?"
"But of what words did this famous libel actually consist?" asked Ledru Rollin. "Louis can tell you better than I," said Flocon. "Why, the words were severe enough, no doubt," replied Louis Blanc, "but Thiers and Mignet had themselves expressed the same ideas a hundred times, though in less powerful and pointed language.
I have suffered greatly, terribly, by this horrible catastrophe. My nerves are quite shattered. It is too cruel. However, I can say no more, except to ask that you will let my maid come to me." M. Floçon, still obdurate, would not even consent to that. "I fear, madame, that for the present at least you cannot be allowed to communicate with any one, not even with your maid."
Naturally he drew back with well-feigned indignation, muttering half-unintelligible words in French, denying stoutly both in voice and gesture all acquaintance with the person who thus abruptly addressed him. "This is not to be borne," he cried. "Who are you that dares " "Ta! ta!" quietly put in M. Floçon; "we will discuss that fully, but not here.
Then, with a spasm of self-reproach, M. Floçon remembered that two distinct suggestions had been made to him by two of the travellers, and that, so far, he had neglected them. One was the significant hint from the Italian that he could materially help the inquiry. The other was the General's sneering assertion that the train had not continued its journey uninterruptedly between Laroche and Paris.
Sir Charles Collingham and his escort, M. Floçon, entered a cab together and were driven first to the Faubourg St. Honoré. The General tried hard to maintain his nonchalance, but he was yet a little crestfallen at the turn things had taken, and M. Floçon, who, on the other hand, was elated and triumphant, saw it.
In rashly struggling for all we sometimes lose all. Prudence and perseverance, my dear Armand, are invaluable." At this moment the private door opened, and three men entered the editorial sanctum. Marrast quickly turned, and his friend was silent. "Ha! Albert, Flocon, Rollin!" he cried. "Welcome, welcome!
At the ledge, caught on a projecting point on the far side, partly in, partly out of the car, was a morsel of white lace, a scrap of feminine apparel; although what part, or how it had come there, was not at once obvious to M. Floçon.
Why was this? He called on the Minister of the Interior to explain." "And what said Guizot?" asked Louis Blanc, eagerly. "He said he thought the public interest did not demand, nor was it proper for the Chamber at that time, to enter into debate on the subject. The King had called M. le Comte Mole to form a new cabinet." "And then the left cheered?" exclaimed Flocon.
