I do not know how I have been living during the past ten days. Yesterday I had a few grey hairs; to-morrow they will be white." "Yes, but you are doing your duty as a man of genius grandly," I commented. In a few minutes M. Armand Marrast returned. "It was not against us," he said. "How the lamentable affray came about could not be explained to me. There was a collision, the rifles went off, why?
The royalists smiled at this. They took him simply for their dupe. One of their Generals, Leflo, supported the motion. In vain did Changarnier vote for it, or did Thiers render homage to the cautious wisdom of the late constitutional assembly. The Minister of War, St. Arnaud, answered him as Changarnier had answered Marrast and he did so amidst the plaudits of the Mountain.
I was endeavoring to soothe his irritation and chide his depression with a sermon; since we are all old friends and fellow-sufferers in the good cause and have a common interest in knowing the reasons of failure and the means of triumph, I will by your leave proceed." "Aye, dear Louis, go on!" cried Marrast, kindly. "But you are the most youthful sage I ever listened to."
As for the journalistic literature, that I have learned is, without doubt, gratuitously distributed, to a great extent, among the masses." "But can the masses read the papers?" asked Marrast.

"Yes, keep it," said Armand Marrast laughingly, "so that you can say that one day you were pair and the next day maire." Lamartine took me aside into the recess of a window.

A swarm of new and unknown writers for the press on this great subject seems all at once to have appeared from unseen hiding-places." "This is very strange, Louis," said Marrast, "and yet it is, doubtless, very true. I had observed what you remark myself, although I have viewed the movement less hopefully for the cause of the Republic than you."
Marie and myself were advocates for Barbes. Blanqui was sentenced to death and Barbes to the galleys for life. But we obtained commutation of penalty for both." "And where is to be the end of all these things?" asked Marrast, gloomily, as he continued pacing the chamber with folded arms, his head resting on his bosom.
General Forey the same who had refused a battalion to the President of the Constituent Assembly, Marrast, who had promoted him from a colonel to a general General Forey, in the centre of the courtyard of the Mairie, his face inflamed, half drunk, coming out, they said, from breakfast at the Elysée, superintended the outrage.
It was six o'clock when the sitting closed, and they must be in consultation now, or Barrot would surely be here, if but for a moment, out of respect to his bosom friend, our host. Ah! there he is, just entering, surrounded by a perfect army of Republicans De Courtais, Marrast, Lesseps, Duvergier, Flocon, Lamartine, Dupont and a whole host besides."
