“Let them stroll about,” said an officer.

The air was cold, the sky was gray.  Some soldiers, in their shirt-sleeves and wearing foraging caps, busy with fatigue duty, went hither and thither amongst the prisoners.

First M. Grimault and then M. Antony Thouret instituted a roll-call.  The Representatives made a ring around them.  Lherbette said laughingly, “This just suits the barracks.  We look like sergeant-majors who have come to report.”  They called over the seven hundred and fifty names of the Representatives.  To each name they answered “Absent” or “Present,” and the secretary jotted down with a pencil those who were present.  When the name of Morny was reached, some one cried out, “At Clichy!” At the name of Persigny, the same voice exclaimed, “At Poissy!” The inventor of these two jokes, which by the way are very poor, has since allied himself to the Second of December, to Morny and Persigny; he has covered his cowardice with the embroidery of a senator.

The roll-call verified the presence of two hundred and twenty Representatives, whose names were as follows:—­
