It was a long way off.

They relied upon the Tenth Legion, of which General Lauriston was colonel.
They showed a preference for the Mairie of the Tenth Arrondissement.

M.Daru, as we have said, lived in the Rue de Lille, close by the Assembly.

The section of the Rue de Lille lying between his house and the Palais Bourbon was occupied by infantry.

The last detachment barred his door, but it only barred it on the right, not on the left.
The Representatives, on quitting M.Daru, bent their steps on the side of the Rue des Saints-Peres, and left the soldiers behind them.

At that moment the soldiers had only been instructed to prevent their meeting in the Palace of the Assembly; they could quietly form themselves into a column in the street, and set forth.
