Finally he settles into an unob- trusive seat. No one pays the slightest atten- tion to him, yet 25 years ago, this man’s appearance on the boulevards would have created a riot. Cabinets tumbled, erstwhile friends fought duels, homes were wrecked even the republican structure of France was shakem at mention of the little old man’s name.
