Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Collection of British Authors, Vol. 255: Shut Up in Paris 5th September, 1870. - I think it was Madame de Stael who said, "The French are quick to discern on which side power lies, and swift to range themselves upon that side; they love success before all other things." On the morning of the 3rd the "discerning" people were at their wits end, and their "ranging" disposition was utterly confounded. Public opinion was literally suspended. The newspapers without news continued to assert that something tremendous was going to happen for the benefit of France. Meanwhile the boulevards and cafes were crowded; and the stream of passersby was arrested by groups of people who stood still to talk and to gesticulate eagerly; while the loungers eddied round them for a little time, and then continued their own languid course. There was no more singing or shouting, the strains of the ´Marseillaise´ had died away. Even the gamins had ceased to whistle it. A feeling of restless suspense pervaded all ranks. The official news was in the stereotyped tenor: "Bazaine and MacMahon have made their junction; to-morrow we shall have glorious news."
