I reproached myself with this.

I said to myself, "The People offered themselves, and we did not accept them.

It is for us now not to offer ourselves, but to do more, to give ourselves." Meanwhile the omnibus had started.

It was full.

I had taken my place at the bottom on the left; Arnauld (de l'Ariege) sat next to me, Carini opposite, Montanelli next to Arnauld.
