Necker, and had made our acquaintance, came to see us the same day, and assured us that he had found M. Necker ready to go to M. De Montmorin's in order to accompany the King to the Assembly, that on that, Riol had implored him to do nothing of the kind, and represented to him that if he did so he would share all the unpopularity of the measure, and would no longer be able to do any good, and was so carried away by his zeal, that he told him that he would rather be the cause of his breaking an ...arm or a leg, than allow him to go to it.
55 THE GREAT FRENCHMAN Madame Necker, much moved, joined her entreaty to his, and at last M. Necker gave way.
I have no reason either to doubt the truth of this story, or to affirm it, but if it is true, M. Necker allowed himself to be persuaded in a very important affair by a very trivial personage; all the same it is often the case that a man with little intelligence will communicate his fears in a most persuasive manner, and that excited gestures have some- times more effect than reason or eloquence.
