Some Frenchmen, it is true, seem to regard the crisis as the next-to-last straw. Thunders Editor Pierre Brisson in Figaro: "It is no longer a Parliament, but a monstrous jamming enterprise. The conclusion is to reform or disappear. The margin for the Assembly is only a thread's width." But, unhappily for M. Brisson, his readers can remember that...

But whereas Sommer exercises his ingenuity to subvert the reality principle, the others rip aside the workaday facade of sanity with even less regard for the reader's preconceptions than a genuine madman.
