Whiff of grapeshot

It was Carlyle’s famous ‘ whiff of grapeshot,’ which he oddly enough supposed to have closed the Revolution. Carlyle declares that the traces of the balls are visible on the facade of the church: but they seem to have disappeared now.

‘ And now,’ he would say, ‘ come and see the fruit in the March# St. Honor#. On that spot opposite stood the Library of the Dominican order of monks called Jacobins; the Library was dedicated to the Dauphin, on the day of his birth, 1638. That Dauphin, the son of Louis XM., born under the rule of Richelieu, was Louis xiv. At the Revolution the Library was hired by the political club called the “ Friends of the Constitution.” But these constitutional friends ended in friends of Robespierre and Marat; and thus the Library of the Dominican monks, dedicated in servile terms to Louis xiv. under the auspices of Richelieu, has given its name in all modern languages to sanguinary revolution.’

And now let us make our way, still keeping behind the screen of the new avenues, to the quaint old Place des Victoires, where the gilt statue in the centre, once dedicated viro immortali — to the ‘ grand monarque ’ — has undergone in the last hundred years as many changes as the successive governments of France, out of which the ‘ great king ’ has at last returned to his original place.

And so we come to St. Eustache, that aenigma in the history of art, a Gothic Church built by Renascence artists in a wonderful medley of two different styles; and we pass in to look at the grand tomb of the great Colbert.

Halles Centrales

Thus we cross over to the vast Halles Centrales, and thence to the delightful Marchd aux Innocents, with the fountain of Pierre Lescot and Jean Goujon — to my mind, at least in its original form, the most perfect work of the Renascence — now it is much transformed, but still in effect most lovely private guide turkey. For my part, I prefer the second of the three shapes which the fountain has received within the present century. In that old Marchd aux Innocents I loved on a bright summer day to sit for hours, listening to the splash of the fountain and the gay voices of the children at play.

It used to be a bit of old Paris: and worthy, with its colour, warmth, and varied perspective, to rank with a market-place in Verona or Genoa. Close by, in the small street de la Ferronnerie, then much narrower, Henry iv. was assassinated by Ravaillac; and on the spot where we stand was the grim burial-ground and charnel-house of the Church of the Innocents. Quite close by, across the new Rue de Rivoli, was the house of Coligny where he was murdered in the St. Bartholomew. In the Rue St. Denis is one of the houses in which Moli&re (Poquelin) was said to have been born. He certainly died in No. 34 Rue de Richelieu, opposite the fountain which bears his name.

Then we pass across to the old city, the original Lutetia, the Paris of Julius Caesar, of Julian, of Clovis, and Hugh Capet. There on the quay beside the apse of Notre Dame we stop to mark the spot where stood the house of Canon Fulbert where Abailard knew, taught, and loved Hdlo’fse, and then we wander on to what once was Rue du Fouarre, now almost swamped in the new Rue Monge, where stood the old school of Theology and Arts. Dante calls the street vico degli strami; and he records Sigier, the famous doctor who taught there; and some have supposed that he actually lodged in this spot. Another suggestion ( which has high authority) is that from that spot he could watch the South Rose Window in the transept of Notre Dame, which suggested to him the idea of the Celestial Rose of Paradise.

And so we come to St. Eustache, that aenigma in the history of art, a Gothic Church built by Renascence artists in a wonderful medley of two different styles; and we pass in to look at the grand tomb of the great Colbert.

Halles Centrales

Thus we cross over to the vast Halles Centrales, and thence to the delightful Marchd aux Innocents, with the fountain of Pierre Lescot and Jean Goujon — to my mind, at least in its original form, the most perfect work of the Renascence — now it is much transformed, but still in effect most lovely private guide turkey. For my part, I prefer the second of the three shapes which the fountain has received within the present century. In that old Marchd aux Innocents I loved on a bright summer day to sit for hours, listening to the splash of the fountain and the gay voices of the children at play.

It used to be a bit of old Paris: and worthy, with its colour, warmth, and varied perspective, to rank with a market-place in Verona or Genoa. Close by, in the small street de la Ferronnerie, then much narrower, Henry iv. was assassinated by Ravaillac; and on the spot where we stand was the grim burial-ground and charnel-house of the Church of the Innocents. Quite close by, across the new Rue de Rivoli, was the house of Coligny where he was murdered in the St. Bartholomew. In the Rue St. Denis is one of the houses in which Moli&re (Poquelin) was said to have been born. He certainly died in No. 34 Rue de Richelieu, opposite the fountain which bears his name.

Then we pass across to the old city, the original Lutetia, the Paris of Julius Caesar, of Julian, of Clovis, and Hugh Capet. There on the quay beside the apse of Notre Dame we stop to mark the spot where stood the house of Canon Fulbert where Abailard knew, taught, and loved Hdlo’fse, and then we wander on to what once was Rue du Fouarre, now almost swamped in the new Rue Monge, where stood the old school of Theology and Arts. Dante calls the street vico degli strami; and he records Sigier, the famous doctor who taught there; and some have supposed that he actually lodged in this spot. Another suggestion ( which has high authority) is that from that spot he could watch the South Rose Window in the transept of Notre Dame, which suggested to him the idea of the Celestial Rose of Paradise.

Okay let's see what I can manage to gather from the Napoleon trailer in terms of historical events

I'm guessing this is Napoleon talking to Paul Barras, one of the leaders of the Directory (the regime in charge after Robespierre's downfall), and who helped Napoleon's rise to power by putting him in charge of troops to defend the Directory against a royalist uprising and nominating him to command the army of Italy. Paul Barras was eventually sidelined by Napoleon.

Clearly Marie Antoinette's execution, especially considering the trailer begins with the date 1973, the year in which she was executed.

The famous 'whiff of grapeshot', with which Napoleon said he put down the royalist uprising. Those royalist rioters should probably be a lot better armed than sticks and pitchforks though, considering they included the national guardsmen of one of the sections of Paris. Also the location should be different but that courtyard looks pretty cinematic so I won't quibble. Btw if you go to Paris you can still see the holes in made by the grapeshot in the Saint Roch church to this day, a few streets away from the Louvre

My Napoleon is turning 30 Napoleon years soon and he is still asking for bedtime stories. I have the time and energy to do it but I don’t know if I should be encouraging this childish behavior

I love my little Nappy so much but I don’t want to hold him back, what should I do ?

I always say, let napoleons develop at their comfort level. Sure, some napoleons begin crowning at around 30, but like

Some Napoleons don’t even whiff crowds with grapeshot until they’re like, pushing 50. Don’t judge your Napoleon by other Napoleons’ standards.

But even if you want to? A lot of Napoleons like being read to their entire life! Once, there was a Napoleon on a Deathbed who had people read Don Quixote to him almost to the end! I think they should’ve just gotten him off the Deathbed instead of reading Spanish literature to him, but you know, hindsight is 20/20. But that napoleon was waaay older than 30!

It’s fine! tuck your napoleon in, give him a smooch, and read him a story!

Chance

18 Vendémiaire, Year IV

(10 October 1795)

As far as cities go, by all rights, Paris should not exist.

She is massive and unwieldy and somehow manages to contain every walk of life and belief and thought that has ever occurred within her walls without wholly fracturing. She has survived the twenty-first of January as well as the ninth of Thermidor, and still she persists.

Napoléon hates Paris, but as he sips at his wine, he can’t help but admire her.

“Beg your pardon,” comes a voice from behind him.

Turning toward it, Napoléon sees a slight young man. He looks determined, even if that steel is tempered by the pink of his cheeks. “Yes?”

“Apologies for interrupting, but you wouldn’t happen to be General Buonaparte, would you?”

The title is new, and Napoléon bites back a pleased smile to hear it. “I might be.”

“The General Buonaparte who scared away those Royalist rioters the thirteenth of Vendémiaire with only a whiff of grapeshot?”

It had taken significantly more than a whiff, but as the inaccuracy only lends itself to his reputation, Napoléon doesn’t correct it. “It sounds as though you do not need me to tell you the answer.”

“I —” The man’s mouth opens, then shuts. “It is only that I have been following your work since the Siege of Toulon — that was a masterful bit of strategy, if I may say so.”

“The Siege of Toulon, you say?” He adjusts himself in his seat, narrowing his eyes as he tries to recall the dates. “That’s nearly two years gone now.”

“Frimaire of year II,” volunteers the young man. “After nearly four months’ stalemate.”

“Yes, yes.” He rubs his chin. “I assume that you’d been following the siege since before then.”

“I had.” The man looks ready to continue, then cuts himself off again.

The young man hardly appears to be the sort of company Napoléon should be keeping if he wants to be well-received among others of his rank — it is only thanks to 13 Vendémiaire that Napoléon even has the fine clothes that he wears now — but against his better judgment, Napoléon is intrigued. “Rather slow piece of action to be following,” he observes mildly.

The bait works. “My father was serving there. He says it’s thanks to you that he was able to return home.”

A fellow soldier! “Someone I’d recognize?”

The man shakes his head, a chagrined smile pasted on his face. “No, he said — he said he only admired you from a distance. He’d been there since the beginning of the siege. He used to write me letters.”

A dedicated father committed to a noble cause: it’s better than Napoléon has ever known. “I’d be glad to meet him, if he’s in the city.”

The pained smile remains, the man’s eyes now turned to the wooden floor of the establishment. “I’m afraid he passed some time ago. He sustained several injuries at the siege, you see, and one in particular … well, he unfortunately did not have much time left after. My grandfather — my mother’s father, he’s who I’d been living with at the time — supported Toulon, but when he received word that my father was not long for this earth, he sent me to see him, and the truth soon came out.”

“I see.” He nods slowly before meeting the gentleman’s eyes again. “What of your grandfather these days? Do you still stay with him?”

The young man shakes his head. “I did for some time after the discovery, but only through biting my tongue and keeping my head low. After the Royalist riots, however, my grandfather and I had an argument, and I decided that I could bear it no longer. I have been staying with a friend since.”

Napoléon takes a slow drink, eyeing the young man as he does. “What do you call yourself?”

This, of all things, is what it takes to make him stammer. “M-Marius, Sir.”

“Marius.” Napoléon swishes his thoughtfully wine in its glass. “Tell me, Marius: do you have military aspirations?”

At this, the young man — Marius — appears even more flustered. “Ah, I’m afraid not, Sir. I’m in law.”

“Law,” Napoléon repeats, amused. “You’ve more backbone than any man of law I’ve ever met. Here, sit with me, allow me to buy you something.”

“I — thank you, Sir. I would like that a lot.”

“I thought you might,” smiles Napoléon, raising a hand to wave down a waitress. “How familiar are you with the goings-on of Italy and Austria right now?”
