A stout, rosy-faced man, the citoyen Dupont senior, a joiner living in the Place de Thionville, mounted the Tribune, announcing that he wished to ask a question of the new juror. Then he demanded of Gamelin what attitude he meant to take up in the matter of the Brissotins and of the widow Capet. Évariste was timid and unpractised in public speaking. But indignation gave him eloquence.
I consulted with my comrades, and we decided that they should take cover with the horses, well out of sight, and that I should remain on the watch, which I did." "Well! and did you see anything?" "About half an hour later, I heard voices, citoyen, and presently, two men came along towards the edge of the cliff; they seemed to me to have come from the Lille Road. One was young, the other quite old.
"Va, citoyen," said one fugitive, an officer-popularly elected, because he was the loudest brawler in the club of the Salle Favre, we have seen him before Charles, the brother of Armand Monnier; "men can't fight when they despise their generals. It is our generals who are poltroons and fools both." "Carry my answer to the ghosts of cowards," cried De Mauldon, and shot the man dead.
When Jean Blaise paid mine host in assignats, the citoyen Poitrine complained bitterly that he never saw what he called "square money" nowadays, and promised a fine candle to the beggar who'd bring back the "yellow boys" again. He offered the citoyennes their pick of flowers.
Now about tonight?" interrupted Chauvelin, impatiently. "The roads and the beach are patrolled as usual, citoyen, and Captain Jutley awaits further orders." "Go back to him at once, then. Tell him to send reinforcements to the various patrols; and especially to those along the beach you understand?"
Citoyen Egalité is wanted at the Convention Committee!" What the committee wanted with Equality Philip and what they did with him has been stated above. Consider then that the Napoleonic era has at last set in blood. Consider that the Restoration, with the reigns of Louis XVIII. and Charles X., has gone by.
It was the citoyen Beauvisage, of the Committee of Surveillance. "Citoyens," he announced, "we have bad news: Custine has evacuated Landau." "Custine is a traitor!" cried Gamelin. "He shall be guillotined," said Beauvisage. Trubert, in his rather breathless voice, expressed himself with his habitual calmness: "The Convention has not instituted a Committee of Public Safety for fun.
A woman, a tall, handsome brunette, enveloped in furs, entered the shop and bestowed on the citoyen Blaise a little discreet nod that implied intimacy. It was Julie Gamelin; but she no longer bore that dishonoured name, she preferred to be called the citoyenne widow Chassagne, and wore, under her mantle, a red tunic in honour of the red shirts of the terror. Julie had at first felt a certain repulsion towards Évariste's mistress; anything that had come near her brother was odious to her. But the citoyenne Blaise, after Évariste's death, had found an asylum for the unhappy mother in the attics of the Amour peintre. Julie had also taken refuge there; then she had got employment again at the fashionable milliner's in the Rue des Lombards. Her short hair
