through all the outlets.
Some, and amongst the number those of whom we have just spoken, wens out
by the Rue de Bourgogne, others were dragged through the Salle des Pas
Perdus towards the grated door opposite the Pont de la Concorde.[3]
The Salle des Pas Perdus has an ante-chamber, a sort of crossway room,
upon which opened the staircase of the High Tribune, and several doors,
amongst others the great glass door of the gallery which leads to the
apartments of the President of the Assembly.
As soon as they had reached this crossway room which adjoins the little
rotunda, where the side door of exit to the Palace is situated, the
soldiers set the Representatives free.
There, in a few moments, a group was formed, in which the
Representatives Canet and Favreau began to speak. One universal cry was
raised, "Let us search for Dupin, let us drag him here if it is
necessary."
They opened the glass door and rushed into the gallery. This time M.
Dupin was at home. M. Dupin, having learnt that the gendarmes had
cleared out the Hall, had come out of his hiding-place. The Assembly
being thrown prostrate, Dupin stood erect. The law being made prisoner,
this man felt himself set free.
The group of Representatives, led by MM. Canet and Favreau, found him in
his study.
