Pàgina 200 - Plucked up a spirit as I drew near the Palace, and mounted the stairs like a lion ; went into the first bureau that I found open, and demanded at once to see Carnot. The clerks stared a little, but I repeated my demand with a courage truly heroic, on which they instantly submitted, and sent a person to conduct me. This happened to be his day for giving audience, which each member of the Executive Directory does in his turn.
Pàgina 139 - ... are others directly trenching on their interests. By their exclusion from the two houses of parliament, the whole body of the Catholic gentry of Ireland, a high-spirited race of men, are insulted and disgraced, thrown down from the level of their fortune and their talents and branded with a mark of subjugation, the last relic of interested bigotry.
