To employ an expression of M. Nadar's it seems that these gentlemen never before experienced such a "knock-down blow." After all these preparations, all this trouble, all the energy employed in the undertaking sufficient, indeed, wherewith to attempt to cross the Atlantic to "descend at Meaux!" The 'Geant, however, had its revenge. Its second ascent gave it this revenge.
Nadar's hair, however, was not long like that of les rois chevelue, for it was simply a huge curly and somewhat reddish mop. As for his complexion, Millaud's phrase, "yellow as a pure Cambodian," was a happy thought. These allusions to Millaud's sprightly verse remind me that throughout the siege of Paris the so-called mot pour rire was never once lost sight of.
