If Badinguet and Bismarck have a quarrel, let 'em go to work with their fists and fight it out and not involve in their row some hundreds of thousands of men who don't even know one another by sight and have not the slightest desire to fight." "Of course, let 'em fight it out, and take a drink together afterward." But Chouteau had turned to Pache, whom he now proceeded to take in hand.
I shall be very glad of it and I embrace you. And the censorship? I really hope for you that it will make some blunders. Besides, I should be distressed if it was wanting in its usual habits. Have you read this in the paper? "Victor Hugo and Rochefort, the greatest writers of the age." If Badinguet now is not avenged, it is because he is hard to please in the matter of punishments.
Many conservatives who, from love of order, wanted to preserve the Republic, are going to regret Badinguet and in their hearts recall the Prussians. The people of the Hotel de Ville have changed the object of our hatred. That is why I am angry with them. It seems to me that we have never been lower. We oscillate between the society of Saint-Vincent de Paul and the International.
Curse Badinguet and that wretch of a Bismarck; they choose to fight, so you must pay double for these carrots" The butchers yesterday published an appeal against the maximum; they said that the cost of animals is so great that they positively are losing upon every joint which they sell.
"Oh, indeed, the gendarmes! let the gendarmes go milk the ducks! say, do you know what we would do, all of us, if we had the least bit of spirit? I'll tell you; just the minute that they land us from the cars we'd skip; yes, we'd go straight home, and leave that pig of a Badinguet and his gang of two-for-a-penny generals to settle accounts with their beastly Prussians as best they may!"
I used to rake up all my old reminiscences of the boulevards and cafes and prados, giving details concerning the "petit-creves" and "cocottes," the "flaneurs" and "grandes dames" of the once "gay" capital gay no longer; and, interspersing them with veracious reports respecting the latest hidden thoughts of "Badinguet," and vivid descriptions of the respective toilets of the Empress Eugenie, Baroness de B , Madame la Comtesse C , la belle Marquise d'E , and all the other fashionable letters of the alphabet chronicling the very latest achievements in "Robes en train" and "Costumes a ravir" of the great artist Worth.
Some were weeping freely, jeered at by the others who, completely lost in drink, were sticking lighted candles into their provisions and bawling at the top of their voices: "Down with Badinguet! and long live Rochefort!" 2 "Badinguet, nickname given to Napoleon III; Henri Rochefort, anti-Napoleon journalist and agitator.
Ah! it would have been more practical to keep Badinguet, in order to send him to the galleys once peace was made! Austria did not have a revolution after Sadowa, nor Italy after Novara, nor Russia after Sebastopol! But the good French hasten to demolish their house as soon as the chimney has caught fire.
"Mort aux Prussiens! À la lanterne, Badinguet! Vive la République!" Jack turned away from the window. The tall Sister of Mercy stood beside the bed where Lorraine lay. Jack made a sign. "She is asleep," murmured the Sister; "you may come nearer now. Close the window." Before he could reach the bed the door was opened violently from without, and an officer entered swinging a lantern.
The hospital exults, Badinguet fallen! it is not too soon; good-by to the war that is ended at last. The following morning Francis and I, we embrace and he departs. "Till we meet again," he shouts to me as he shuts the gate; "and in Paris!" Oh, the days that followed that day! What suffering! what desolation!
