eleven at
night
He was trembling all over , and made quite an absurd appearance , and presently the Parliament men appeared again , carrying huge sealed letters ; Broussel 's was borne by his nephew in triumph . We could hear the Vivas ! With which the people greeted them , as the promise of restoration was made known . At eleven at night there was a fresh outcry , but this was of joy , for M. Blancmesnil had actually come back from Vincennes ; but the barricades were not taken down . There was to be no laying down of arms till Broussel appeared , and there were strange noises all night , preventing sleep . At eight o'clock the next morning Broussel had not appeared ; the people were walking about in a sullen rage , and this was made worse by a report that there were 10,000 soldiers in the Bois de Boulogne ready to chastise the people . We could see from our house-top the glancing or arms at every barricade where the sun could penetrate , and in the midst came one of the servants announcing Monsieur Clement Darpent .
