1131-_Oui_.
1-_Non_.
The _Non_ was M. Blanc, who, being a Frenchman, ought not to have been allowed to vote at all. I heard afterwards that on learning my departure he had p.r.o.nounced the following epitaph upon me:-
"Ah le jeune homme est parti. Je m'y attendais. Il aimait la liberte celui la."
The Casino is removed to Cairo, and M. Blanc's eldest daughter is to marry the Viceroy's youngest son.
My tutor at Cambridge received me with a solemn face; but I laughingly exclaimed, "You see, Sir, after all I did want an _exeat_, even if an _absit_ would not have done."
The only later news that I have to record is a letter from my friend Gambetta, promising that when he becomes President of France I shall be prefet of the Department of the Alpes Maritimes, which includes my ex-dominions, on condition that I am very moderate.
END.
