It seems to me that such accounts of personal experience in troubled times give a far more vivid picture of events than a mere formal narration. I therefore quote them in this chapter in preference to telling the story in my own words. The first is by Count Joseph Orsi, whose visit to Raoul Rigault's office at the Prefecture of Police has already been told.
This one had dined at Citizen Raoul Rigault's, the Préfecture of Police; that one attended a performance of "Andromaque" at the Théâtre Français, in the Empress's box, etc. At last it was my turn. The 17th of May was the day of the grand concert at the Tuileries. Oh, my dear little baroness, what had become of you? Where were your long soft muslin petticoats and your fine white satin corsets?
