For who could tell if we should ever come back? For a moment I hesitated, thinking that it might be well to invest M. de Bois- Sombre as my deputy with my scarf of office ; but then I reflected that when a man goes to battle, when he goes to risk his life, perhaps to lose it, for his people, it is his right to bear those signs which dis- tinguish him from common men, which A BELEAGUERED CITY. 1 29 show in what office, for what cause, he is ready to die. Accordingly I paused, struggling against ...the pressure of the people, and said in a loud voice, ' In the absence of M. Barbou, who has forsaken us, I constitute the excel- lent M. Felix de Bois-Sombre my repre- sentative. I n my absence my fellow-citizens will respect and obey him as myself.' There was a cry of assent. They would have given their assent to anything that we might but go on. What was it to them ? They took no thought of the heaving of my bosom, the beating of my heart. They left us on the edge of the darkness with our faces towards the gate.
