He also managed to exclude from parliament Messrs. de Montalembert, de Falloux and Keller. But Messrs. Plichou, Berryer and Thiers, notwithstanding his hostile efforts, were elected.
But most of them, both the French of old France and the French of Canada, chivalric of heart, were resolved to see fair play. Monsieur Berryer shrugged his shoulders, but made no protest. The affair to his mind managed itself very well. There had been none of the violence that he had apprehended.
He knew her friendship for me, and he one day said to me, with great feeling, "I am afraid, my dear Madame du Hausset, that she will sink into a state of complete dejection, and die of melancholy. Try to divert her." What a fate for the favourite of the greatest monarch in existence! thought I. One day, Madame de Pompadour had retired to her closet with M. Berryer.
Robert saw that the looks were growing more menacing, although the good Monsieur Berryer glided among his guests, and counseled caution. "Take no notice," said Willet in a low tone. "The French are polite, and although they may not like us they will not molest us." Robert followed his advice.

They were not interrupted until Monsieur Berryer bowed before them and asked if they would have any more refreshment. "No, thank you," said Robert, and then he added, as if by afterthought, although he did not take his eyes from the buttons: "What sort of a man at sword play is this de Mézy?" "Very good! Very good, sir," replied the innkeeper, "that is if his eyes and head are clear."
M. Berryer was a splendid speaker and a public servant of real distinction and the highest utility; yet the fact that to-day his name is on few men's lips seems to be emphasized by this other fact that we continue to pore over Daumier, in whose plates we happen to come across him. It reminds one afresh how Art is an embalmer, a magician, whom we can never speak too fair.

As an orator, many give the palm to M. Berryer, but as his party is not numerous, being carlist, his talents do not receive the general appreciation that they would, had he attached himself to a more popular cause, but he deserves much credit for having faithfully and constantly adhered to his principles.
