Over his door he placed the following inscription, borrowed from Scripture: "Venite ad me omnes qui stomacho laboratis, et ego restaurabo vos." Such was the origin of the word and profession of restaurateur. Other cooks, in imitation of BOULANGER, set up as restorers, on a similar plan, in all the places of public entertainment where such establishments were admissible.
Boulanger, if from a local point of view he died less satisfactorily, was yet careful to employ a Bullet. It is for the sake of the phrase-makers that Burglars good-naturedly prefer Bermondsey, and that Tigers do not escape from their cages to play in Tragedies till the show arrives at Tewkesbury.
After Boulanger had insulted the Duc d'Aumale while he was Minister of War, a challenge passed between himself and an Orleanist, M. le Baron de Lareinty. Boulanger stood to receive the fire of his adversary, but did not fire in return. He was subsequently anxious to fight Jules Ferry; but Jules Ferry declined any meeting of the kind.
General Boulanger found the anti-Jewish sentiment sufficiently powerful to make an appeal to it one of the articles of his programme, and the extraordinary popularity of the writings of Drumont shows that Boulanger had not altogether miscalculated its force.
The firmness of the government in dealing with what seemed a serious crisis, was followed by the swift collapse of the whole movement, and when Boulanger was summoned before the High Court of Justice upon the charge of inciting a revolution, he fled from the country, and the incident was closed. In one important respect the Third Republic differs from the two preceding it.
In January 1879 even, some senatorial elections went against the President, and he accordingly resigned, January 30, 1879. In the year 1887 the Republic seemed for a time to be in danger owing to the intrigues of the Minister for War, General Boulanger.
One who seemed of more importance now and then took notes in a book as he walked along. This was the president of the jury, Monsieur Derozerays de la Panville. As soon as he recognized Rodolphe he came forward quickly, and smiling amiably, said: "What! Monsieur Boulanger, you are deserting us?" Rodolphe protested that he was just coming.
"What do you want? where are you going?" inquired Boulanger, sharply. The girl looked timidly at him, then gazed for a minute in Isidore's face. "The young brave knows where they are," said she; "I am going with him." "With him! Nonsense," ejaculated the Canadian, "you can't go with him. Get you back, there's a good girl.
Thus deserted, Boulanger became open to scandals and reports, some true, and some false, such as would inevitably be circulated in France concerning such a man's relations with women.
Clifford rose, dropped a piece of charcoal down on his neighbor's neck, and stepping across Thaxton's easel, walked over to Gethryn. "Rex, have you heard the latest?" "No." "The Ministry has fallen again, and the Place de la Concorde is filled with people yelling, A bas la Republique! Vive le General Boulanger!" Gethryn looked serious. Clifford went on, speaking low.
