"I doubt whether his union with Ledru Rollin is approved by any eminent Hungarian in England. "While I regret all this, I yet expect Kossuth to be great again whenever action in Hungary recommences; but he cannot bear inaction well; and, alas! I make no doubt his private resources cannot bear delays.
In politics the Tories resembled the extreme Right in the French Chamber of Deputies, the ultra-conservatives, who sustained the throne of Charles X. The Whigs bore more resemblance to the Centre of the Chamber of Deputies, led by such men as Guizot, Broglie, and Thiers, favorable to a constitutional monarchy, but by no means radicals and democrats like Louis Blanc, Ledru Rollin, and Lamartine.
This citizen has some friends who are the friends of Ledru Rollin and of the citizen Tibaldi; and one of these friends heard a friend say that either Ledru Rollin or Tibaldi had heard Trochu say that it was impossible to save Paris; but that he would have 30,000 men killed, and then capitulate. They must have no confidence in the quartiers inside the town.
"Have you heard Bugeaud's remark at noon, when looking upon the Place de la Concorde?" asked Marrast. "We have been too busy to-day to hear anything," said Ledru Rollin. "'Ah! we shall have a day of it, said the bloodthirsty old hero. 'I care not for the day, said the pale Guizot, 'but the night!" "The people made quite a demonstration about Guizot, I hear," said Flocon.
Such were the personages now assembled in the office of "Le National;" and, of those five men, all were connected with the press, directly, as editor or proprietor, save only Ledru Rollin, and he was a writer for "La Réforme," as well as an advocate. The name of Louis Blanc's paper was, as has been said, "Le Bon Sens." But to return to the narrative.
Ledru Rollin and Louis Blanc assented. "And what next?" pursued Flocon. "After considerable confusion," continued Lamartine, "M. Odillon Barrot rose and demanded, in consequence of the situation of the cabinet, a postponement of the proposition for its impeachment, fixed for to-morrow." "Ah! And what said the Chamber?" asked Flocon.
Babette came in with the coal, and Miss Grace roused herself from her reverie. "Babette, tell Ledru to have dinner at seven. I think your master and his daughter will be here to-night." "Mon Dieu, Mademoiselle! The young lady from England?" "Yes; and see that there are fires in all the rooms upstairs." "Yes, Miss Grace." "Is Miss Eeny still in the parlour?" "Yes, Miss Grace."
A provisional government we must first have!" "What right have you to speak?" shouted a man. "You are not a deputy!" "In the name of the people, silence!" roared a terrific voice that drowned every other. It was the voice of Ledru Rollin. Many of the deputies now withdrew, and their places were filled by the people.
"And the most devoted," added Ledru Rollin. "They have been man and wife for some time, it is said, and any one would take them for lovers at this moment." "Have they children?" asked Flocon. "No; but M. Dantès has by a former wife a son and daughter, who rival in good looks the celebrated children of our friend Victor Hugo," returned Louis Blanc.
Even Mazzini favoured that view, but it is impossible to separate the President of the Republic from the 325 deputies who voted the supplies for the expedition on the 2nd of April. Does anyone pretend that they were hoodwinked any more than Ledru Rollin was hoodwinked, or the minority, which, roused by his vigorous speech, voted against the grant?
