And he added,-
"Come."
He drew me into a dark street. We could hear explosions. At the bottom of the street could be seen the ruins of a barricade. Versigny and Bancel, as I have just said, were with me. E.P. turned to them.
"These gentlemen can come," said he.
I asked him,—
"What street is this?"
"The Rue Tiquetonne."
We followed him.
I have elsewhere told this tragical event.[26]
E.P. stopped before a tall and gloomy house. He pushed open a street-door which was not shut, then another door and we entered into a parlor perfectly quiet and lighted by a lamp.
