ten o'clock
One man received a sword splendidly decorated with gems upon its scabbard and hilt . `` I want only the blade ! '' he said , tearing it away from its ornaments and grasping the naked steel ! At ten o'clock M. Odillon Barrot , General Lamoricière and Horace Vernet , the great marine artist , proceeded on horseback to the barricades to induce the people to disperse , but all their eloquent entreaties were received only with insults . `` No truce -- no tricks -- no mistake this time ! '' were the decisive shouts with which they were greeted . A second time , in the Rue Richelieu , General Lamoricière , accompanied by Moline Saint Gru bearing a palm-branch , was equally unsuccessful .
