"What!" said Arago, "are you going to the Elysée?"
M. Dupin answered, "I never go to disreputable houses."
Yet he went there.
M. Dupin, it may be remembered, was appointed Attorney-General at the
Court of Cessation.
CHAPTER VII.
THE OTHER LIST
Opposite to the list of adherents should be placed the list of the
proscribed. In this manner the two sides of the _coup d'état_ can be
seen at a glance.

There was besides a list of the "provisionally exiled," on which figured
Edward Quinet, Victor Chauffour, General Laidet, Pascal Duprat, Versigny,
Antony Thouret, Thiers, Girardin, and Rémusat. Four Representatives,
Mathé, Greppo, Marc-Dufraisse, and Richardet, were added to the list of
the "expelled." Representative Miot was reserved for the tortures of the
casemates of Africa. Thus in addition to the massacres, the victory of
the _coup d'état_ was paid for by these figures: eighty-eight
Representatives proscribed, one killed.
