CHAPTER XIV.
THE D'ORSAY BARRACKS It was half-past three.
The arrested Representatives entered into the courtyard of the barracks, a huge parallelogram closed in and commanded by high walls.

These walls are pierced by three tiers of windows, and posses that dismal appearance which distinguishes barracks, schools, and prisons.
This courtyard is entered by an arched portal which extends through all the breadth of the front of the main building.

This archway, under which the guard-house has been made, is close on the side of the quay by large solid folding doors, and on one side of the courtyard by an iron grated gateway.

They closed the door and the grated gateway upon the Representatives.

They "set them at liberty" in the bolted and guarded courtyard.
"Let them stroll about," said an officer.
The air was cold, the sky was gray.
