AN END WORSE THAN DEATH We should have been glad to have put aside, never to have spoken of him again, this man who had borne for three years this most honorable title, President of the National Assembly of France, and who had only known how to be lacquey to the majority.

He contrived in his last hour to sink even lower than could have been believed possible even for him.

His career in the Assembly had been that of a valet, his end was that of a scullion.
The unprecedented attitude that M.Dupin assumed before the gendarmes when uttering with a grimace his mockery of a protest, even engendered suspicion.

Gambion exclaimed, "He resists like an accomplice.

He knew all." We believe these suspicions to be unjust.
