CHAPTER X.
DUTY CAN HAVE TWO ASPECTS
Had it been in the power of the Left at any moment to prevent the coup
d'état?
We do not think so.
Nevertheless here is a fact which we believe we ought not to pass by in
silence. On the 16th November, 1851, I was in my study at home at 37, Rue
de la Tour d'Auvergne; it was about midnight. I was working. My servant
opened the door.
"
Will you see M. ----, sir?"
And he mentioned a name.
"Yes," I said.
Some one came in.
I shall only speak reservedly of this eminent and distinguished man. Let
it suffice to state that he had the right to say when mentioning the
Bonapartes "my family."
