"And, Monsieur, I do like breloques very much," continues Madelon, feeling that this is a moment for confession. "Very well, then, you can look at all these. See, here is the little fish to begin with." "And may I have it in my own hand to look at?" she asked, willing to come to some terms before capitulating.

The city fell through revolt of the people and defection of the King's troops rather than by the assaults of Garibaldi's men, "twenty thousand soldiers of despotism" capitulating "before a handful of citizens" self-devoted in the cause of freedom.
Delay, he argued, favoured the besiegers more than the besieged, as their resources must soon fail, in which case their allies would desert them and they would again be brought to the necessity of capitulating.
