Women in offices, women in stores, women in hotels chamber-maids, clerks, buyers, waitresses, actresses in road companies, women demonstrators, occasional traveling saleswomen, women in factories, scrubwomen, stenographers, models every grade, type and variety of working woman, trained and untrained. She never missed a chance to talk with them. She never failed to learn from them.
Jules Favre responded that he and his colleagues personified Defence and not Surrender, and Rochefort poor Rochefort! solemnly promised that the barricades of Paris should be begun that very night. That undertaking mightily pleased the agitators, though the use of the said barricades was not apparent; and the demonstrators dispersed with the usual shouts of "Vive la Republique!
At daybreak groups of demonstrators went about the town singing, "It is Chatillon we want," and breaking the windows of the houses in which the Ministers of the Republic lived.
