Poor Trochu ! if one may judge of his real sentiments from the melancholy tone of his last despatches, he can hardly be in that frame of mind which makes congratulation pleasant or accept- able. Every utterance of his since the beginning of the siege conveys a painful sense of chronic depression.
To feel that there is nothing really to be done — ^that all his efforts will only serve to stave off for a while a final and inevitable catastrophe — that Paris, with its blind ignorance of the enemy's... strength and of its own weakness, is laying up for itself such fertile stores of disappointment in the future — disappoint- ment that will find vent in the bitterest curses and imprecations on the devoted heads of its leaders — this is certainly not a position in which a man of his heroic spirit can find pleasure in listening to the Digitized by Google vn.] A CHAPTER FOR ''GENERAL BOUM.'' 205 old-womanish compliments of half-a-dozen incapable lawyers. Alas ! for Trochu, the man of many sorrows, the future scapegoat of our capitulation !
