Charpentier gives the portrait of a woman in whom there was a uniform diminution in the size of the limbs. Debout portrays a young man with almost complete absence of the thigh and leg, from whose right hip there depended a foot. Accrell describes a peasant of twenty-six, born without a hip, thigh, or leg on the right side.
In the course of it she pointed out the uncertainties of a career in the magistrature debout compared with the magistrature assise, and the advantages of the bench over the bar; she showed how a freak on the part of some official, or a single false step, might ruin a man's career. "If you are conscientious and give your conclusions against the powers that be, you are lost," continued she.

Saunderson, had indued a pair of jack-boots of large dimensions, and now invited our hero to follow him as he stalked clattering down the ample stair-case, tapping each huge balustrade as he passed with the butt of his massive horse-whip, and humming, with the air of a chasseur of Louis Quatorze, Pour la chasse ordonnee il faut preparer tout. Ho la ho! Vite! vite debout!
Think of Lieutenant Pericard who in a trench full of corpses at Bois-brule cried, suddenly entranced, in a loud voice, "Debout les morts!" and in a moment, as it were, the souls of their dead comrades were around his men, inspiring them to victory. France never doubted the conclusion; and the conclusion was never doubtful. We have spoken of `glory, but the day of ` la gloire has departed.
"Et dire que ce sont des Hongrois qui jouent tout cela!" a humourist remarked from the pavement. As the evening wore on and the crowd about our window thickened, the loiterers outside began to join in the war-songs. "Allons, debout! " and the loyal round begins again.

"No Bourbons! No kings! No Regency! Death death to all kings! La République! La République! La République!" At times, in terrific concert, would the thousands of uplifted throats roar forth the chorus of that startling canticle of '92: "Vive la république! Vive la république! Debout, peuple Français! debout, peuple héroïque! Debout, peuple Français! Vive la république!"
