In vain they looked and waited, but could see nothing of the car or the chauffeur. They returned to the shop and stood just inside the door, where they watched and waited a long time. "Something must have happened," Patty said at last, "and Jules has taken the car away to get it fixed. But he ought to have let us know that he was going. What shall we do, Elise?" "I don't know what to do, Patty.
So Madge's dream of a ship all her own, which was to sail "strange countries for to see," had come true with her other good fortune. Leaving her friends for a moment, Madge made her way toward the end of the dock to beg Captain Jules to reassure her friends of their return at the end of a year. The captain did not notice her approach. Apparently no one was looking at her.
As she stood there, reluctant to break in on Jules' rest for her sympathetic heart, always at the disposal of the oppressed, had long ached for this overworked peon she was relieved to hear footsteps in the street outside, followed by the opening of the front door. If Jules would have had to wake up anyway, she felt her sense of responsibility lessened.
We placed little faith in these rumors, and facts proved that we were right. Meanwhile Jules Favre had drawn up the following decree, which he proposed, and which was immediately adopted: "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity.

"Louise," she said to her daughter, "look at this gentleman, who is he?"
Presently La Sarriette began to laugh. "What a jolly time I would have with Jules if my uncle would give that money to me!" said she. Madame Lecoeur, however, seemed quite overwhelmed by this revelation, crushed beneath the weight of the gold which she could not banish from her sight. Covetous envy thrilled her.
At 3 o'clock I receive a telegram from Paris couched in the following terms: "Bring the children with you." Which means "Come." MM. Claretie and Proust dined with us. During the dinner a telegram signed "Francois Hugo" arrived, announcing that a provisional government had been formed: Jules Favre, Gambetta, Thiers. September 5.
Jules Mignot, the farmer in question, was at home, and promised to go to the glacière in the morning, pledging his word and all that he was worth for the existence and soundness of the ladders; a matter of considerable importance, for M. Thury had been unable to reach the ice, as also my sisters, by reason of a failure in this respect.
My sympathies are with Jules Favre and Leon Gambetta in their efforts to establish and sustain a republic in France, but I confess that the investment of Paris by King William seems to me the logical sequence of the bombardment of Rome by Oudinot.
