It may be remembered that it was at M. Coppens's house, 70, Rue Blanche, that the first meeting of the Left had taken place on December 2d. "You have charming children there, madam," said the General, "and," he added, "an exceedingly good servant." "It is my husband," said Madame Coppens. M. Coppens, in fact, had remained five weeks buried in a hiding-place contrived in his own house.
