"I didn't tell you before because I couldn't." All the violence of George's nature came to the surface as he said brutally: "Of course you could!" "I tell you I couldn't!" she cried. "I knew the car wouldn't be there for us until after the Prix du Cadran. And if I'd told you I couldn't have borne to be walking about that place three-quarters of an hour. We should have had to talk about it.
Seven or eight combatants whose bodies reached above the barricade, which had been made hastily and was too low were hit. Three were killed on the spot. One fell wounded by a ball in his stomach, between Jeanty Sarre and Charpentier. He shrieked out with pain. "Quick, to the ambulance:" said Jeanty Sarre. "Where?" "In the Rue du Cadran."
The decisive moment drew near. The outpost had fallen back upon the barricades. The advanced posts of the Rue de Cléry and the Rue du Cadran had come back. They called over the roll. Not one of those of the morning was missing. They were, as we have said, about sixty combatants, and not a hundred, as the Magnan report has stated.
Perhaps she wanted to run away; but it was either too late or too early for the proceeding.

But here we are now at the 'Cadran rouge; we shall have our lobster and a glass of Moselle, and then to bed, for we must not forget that we are to be at St. Cloud by seven." "Ah! that is a good thought of yours about the lobster," said O'Leary; "and now, as you understand these matters, just order supper, and let us enjoy ourselves."
They put themselves in communication with the barricades of the Rue du Cadran and with the two Mauconseil barricades. These two last barricades were only separated from them by a space of about 150 paces. They were about six feet high, fairly solid, but only guarded by six workmen who had built them.
