Diary of the Besieged Resident in Paris

CHAPTER I
26/56

British coachman does not think much of the citizen soldiers in Paris.

"Lor' bless you, sir, I'd rather have 10,000 Englishmen than the lot of them.

In my stable I make my men obey me, but these chaps they don't seem to care what their officers says to them.

I seed them drill this morning; a pretty green lot they was.

Why, sir, giving them fellow Chassepots is much like giving watches to naked savages." The Breton Mobiles are making pilgrimages to the churches.
