Only the friends of the Duke of Orleans, and of the Count of Armagnac, one assassinated twelve years before, and the other massacred but lately, remained sad and angry at not having yet been able to obtain either justice or vengeance; but they maintained reserve and silence.

They were not long in once more finding for mistrust and murmuring grounds or pretexts which a portion of the public showed a disposition to take up.
The Duke of Burgundy had made haste to publish his ratification of the treaty of reconciliation; the _dauphin_ had let his wait.

The Parisians were astounded not to see either the _dauphin_ or the Duke of Burgundy coming back within their walls, and at being, as it were, forgotten and deserted amidst the universal making-up.

They complained that no armed force was being collected to oppose the English, and that there was an appearance of flying before them, leaving open to them Paris, in which at this time there was no captain of renown.

They were still more troubled when, on the 29th of July, they saw the arrival at the St.Denis gate of a multitude of disconsolate fugitives, some wounded, and others dropping from hunger, thirst, and fatigue.
