With the exception of the commander, who probably earned his cross of honor, the officers were respectful, the sergeants brutal.
A lieutenant showing signs of flinching, a sergeant cried out to him, "You are not the only one who commands here! Come, therefore, march!" M.de Vatimesnil asked a soldier, "Will you dare to arrest us--us, the Representatives of the People ?" "Assuredly!" said the soldier.
Several soldiers hearing some Representatives say that they had eaten nothing since the morning, offered them their ration bread.

Some Representatives accepted.

M.de Tocqueville, who was unwell, and who was noticed to be pale and leaning on the sill of a window, received from a soldier a piece of this bread, which he shared with M.Chambolle.
Two Commissaries of Police appeared in "full dress," in black coats girded with their sash-girdles and their black corded hats.

One was an old man, the other a young man.

The first was named Lemoine-Tacherat, and not Bacherel, as has been wrongly printed: the second was named Barlet.
These names should be noted.
