While they were going on in this style, a berline and four cabriolets, with three-coloured flags at the windows, and a whole troop of national guard, passed along the road. "Vive la Republique!" And with this compliment to ourselves, and the externals of patriotism, we took our leave of them.
Above the horde, high on the opposite wall, stood out the monster Clover Leaf of the Jarados; three-coloured blazing like liquid fire; it was ominous with real life. At that moment the whole concourse rippled with commotion. Arms were uplifted; one and all pointed towards the dais. They, too were looking through the Spot. Then the multitude began to move.
General Excelmans, who had just renewed his oath to Louis, pulled down with his own hands the white flag that was floating over the Tuileries, and hoisted the three-coloured banner.
