Odilon Barrot means reform, but Bugeaud means repression. The King is holding out his right hand and clenching his left fist. The Prefect requested M. Moreau to spread and proclaim the news in his quarter and in the Faubourg Saint Antoine. "This is what I will do," says the Mayor.
Louis Bonaparte is distinguished, cold, gentle, intelligent, with a certain measure of deference and dignity, a German air and black moustache; he bears no resemblance whatever to the Emperor. He ate little, spoke little, and laughed little, although the party was a merry one. Mme. Odilon Barrot seated him on her left. The Englishman was on her right.
"'What do you mean, impossible? "'I have orders. "'From whom? "'From her Majesty Queen Christine, to whom the chateau belongs at present. "'But monsieur here is a stranger who has come expressly to visit the place. "'Impossible! "'Well, exclaimed M. Odilon Barrot, 'it's funny that this door should be closed to the Emperor's nephew! "The porter started and threw his cap on the ground.
I raise my hand, the crowd becomes silent as though by magic, and I say: "My friends, you are waiting for news. The Chamber has been dissolved. The Duchess d'Orleans is Regent." I continue: "The name of Odilon Barrot is a guarantee that the widest and most open appeal will be made to the nation; and that you will have in all sincerity a representative government."
Odilon Barrot is President of the Council and Minister of the Interior." "And Marshal Bugeaud?" "He has also been replaced by Marshal Gerard. But that is nothing. The Chamber has been dissolved, the King has abdicated and is on his way to Saint Cloud, and the Duchess d'Orleans is Regent. Ah! the tide is rising, rising, rising!"
That is the case, for instance, with Legrand, with Steinlen, and with Renouard; and it is also the case with the lithographer Odilon Redon, who applies the values of Manet and, in his strange pastels, the harmonies of Degas and Renoir, placing them at the service of dreams and hallucinations and of a symbolism which is absolutely removed from the realism of these painters.
Odilon Barrot ascends the tribune step by step and slowly; he is solemn before being eloquent. Then he places his right hand on the table of the tribune, throwing his left hand behind his back, and thus shows himself sideways to the Assembly in the attitude of an athlete. He is always in black, well brushed and well buttoned up.
M. Thiers advises us, M. Ernest Moreau and me, to come to an understanding with M. Odilon Barrot. Action by us in our quarter, which is such an important one, can be of very great utility. We therefore set out for the Ministry of the Interior. The people have invaded the Ministry and crowded it to the very office of the Minister, where a not over respectful crowd comes and goes.
Ask Juliette Adam whether the bread-and-butter misses of France in the year 1847 did not squabble over the obstinacy of King Louis Philippe and the greed of M. Guizot, the claims of Louis Napoleon and the theories of Louis Blanc, of Odilon Barrot, and Ledru-Rollin? And I who write, have I not seen a North Antrim Sunday-school wrecked in a faction-fight between the Orange and the Green?
He explained rain; he explained the revolution of July; he explained things impenetrable; he explained Louis-Philippe, Odilon Barrot, Monsieur Thiers, the Eastern Question; he explained Champagne; he explained 1788; he explained the tariff of custom houses and humanitarians, magnetism and the economy of the civil list.
