The Senate tried to be dignified in dying, but did

not quite succeed. The Senators cried, " Long live the Emperor !" in a creditable manner, and declared that if the mob invaded their hall their duty would be to remain seated ; but as the mob had forgotten them, and as M. Rouher said they might have a long time to wait for the chance of exhibiting their dignity, they rejected a motion to sit en permanence, and thought they had better go. En permanence!—one must have dinner. So they went, as M. Lacaze said, " without making even a manifestation," and slipped away out of the Luxemburg into oblivion. Nobody wanted to hurt them, and the Republican Government contented itself with send- ing messengers to put seals on the Chamber door.
