CHAPTER XIII
18/26

After a few meetings at the notary's, Cremiere, Massin, the post master, and their adherents took a habit of assembling there.

By the time the doctor returned, Dionis's office and salon were the camp of his heirs.

The justice of peace and the mayor, who had formed an alliance, backed by the nobility in the neighbouring castles, to resist the liberals of Nemours, now worsted in their efforts, were more closely united than ever by their defeat.
By the time Bongrand and the Abbe Chaperon were able to tell the doctor by word of mouth the result of the antagonism, which was defined for the first time, between the two classes in Nemours (giving incidentally such importance to his heirs) Charles X.had left Rambouillet for Cherbourg.
Desire Minoret, whose opinions were those of the Paris bar, sent for fifteen of his friends, commanded by Goupil and mounted on horses from his father's stable, who arrived in Paris on the night of the 28th.
With this troop Goupil and Desire took part in the capture of the Hotel-de-Veille.

Desire was decorated with the Legion of honor and appointed deputy procureur du roi at Fontainebleau.

Goupil received the July cross.
