ORLEANISTS OUT IN THE COLD
http://www.michaelkelly.fsnet.co.uk/mail.htm
Darling,
By the time you read this I will be dead. It is the only way out.
Orleanist agents have surrounded my bolthole. Jean-Yves has
betrayed the House of Bourbon, his head turned by that dancing
girl in Marseilles. It was he who killed Eduarde using a
shellfish toxin administered via a poisoned bidet. He has paid
the price for his treachery, though. I gave his location to the
Bonapartists and many swine from both sides were killed in the
shoot-out. But it is too late for me. Soon the foe will come and
take me. They will put me in The Machine, and after minutes of
excruciating torture I will inevitably give up the location of
The Heir. Rather than betray my sovereign, I will be dead before
they break in.
I know I can trust you to do what must now be done. You know
that we are compromised and the House of Orleans will be coming
for you next. I trust that by the time they get there you will
already be dead and will have burned down our house. Smother the
children in their sleep, it will be kinder. They will be as
proud as I am to lay down their little lives for the House of
Bourbon. The Heir will remember us when he ascends to his throne.
* * *
Tarquin,
Did it happen? Did it really happen my darling or did I dream it?
Oh tell me tell me, write to me my darling and tell me that it
really happened. Do you remember? Do you? Oh please please write
to me and say that you remember. Tell me you remember like I do,
every day, every hour, that you wear it next to your skin, that
it burns into your flesh like the shirt of Nessus. Or have you
forgotten? Have you made yourself forget? Have I lost you? Have
I lost you to the world? O my poor weak darling did you let the
world defeat us?
Was there rain? I remember rain. Tell me you at least remember
the rain. Did it rain like the deluge on the Boulevard St.
Germain and did we laugh like children and did you umbrella me
with cauliflower leaves from the market in the Rue de Buci and
say we looked like Adam and Eve in that picture of the expulsion
from Eden? And Notre Dame silent and hunchbacked and the
lugubrious gendarme and the flower-seller girl and then the
bistro and the glow on our faces and everyone exhilarated and
our hands touched as you lit my cigarette and we knew. Did you
know? I knew. I knew and I blessed the rain and God damn you
forever darling if you deny that rain.
And did we fall? Did we fall? Did we fall off the edge of the
world together? Did I fall and did you catch me and bear me up
and up and up beyond the roof of the sky? And afterwards your
arms about me and my teethmarks fading on your shoulder like the
marks of some lost henge from a forgotten civilization and the
cat that came in through the skylight skinny and utterly
ruthless like a streetgirl and you leaned on the balcony smoking
and behind you the sky was purple, purple purple purple forever
and the freckles on your back like a constellation I thought I
could read our fates in and a sudden sound of accordions and
then you turned to me again.
Come back to me, my beloved. I will wait for you until and at
the end of time.
Your loving grandmother
PS. I knitted you a sweater

ORLEANISTS OUT IN THE COLD

Abstract:
The French electors will soon have to name their new senators
and their new deputies, and it may be said that the loyal trial
of the Republic is only now beginning. Every good Frenchman must
hope that the trial will be a happy one ; but people are not all
obliged to come forward and force themselves on the public. The
time may come when new men will be asked for, when the actors
who will soon come on the stage will be hissed, when the country
will require a complete change of politics. The country does not
really regret the Empire, and if the Republic of the Republicans
proves to be a failure, the monarchical party will be all the
stronger for not having consumed its strength in unnecessary
struggles.

Orleanists
Supporters of the House of Orleans, a branch of the Bourbon
dynasty that came to power during the July revolution of 1830
and was overthrown by the revolution of 1848. They supported the
interests of the financial aristocracy and the influential
bourgeoisie

The President seemed surprised.
"Your name!" he demanded, sharply.
"Robert Billings Joslyn, United States of America!"
"Your business, Monsieur Joslyn!"
Rob drew the Record from his pocket and placed it upon the table.
"This, sir," said he, "is an electrical device that records all
important events. I wish to call your attention to a scene
enacted in Paris last evening which may have an effect upon the
future history of your country."
He opened the lid, placed the Record so that the President could
see clearly, and then watched the changing expressions upon the
great man's face; first indifference, then interest, the next
moment eagerness and amazement.
"MON DIEU!" he gasped; "the Orleanists!"
Rob nodded.
"Yes; they've worked up a rather pretty plot, haven't they?"
The President did not reply. He was anxiously watching the
Record and scribbling notes on a paper beside him. His face was
pale and his lips tightly compressed.
Finally he leaned back in his chair and asked:
"Can you reproduce this scene again?"
"Certainly, sir," answered the boy; "as often as you like."
"Will you remain here while I send for my minister of police? It
will require but a short time."
"It is a marvel," remarked the President, thoughtfully. "More!
It is a real miracle. We are living in an age of wonders, my
young friend."
"No one knows that better than myself, sir," replied Rob. "But,
tell me, can you trust your chief of police?"
"I think so," said the President, slowly; "yet since your
invention has shown me that many men I have considered honest
are criminally implicated in this royalist plot, I hardly know
whom to depend upon."
Then please wear these spectacles during your interview with the
minister of police," said the boy. "You must say nothing, while
he is with us, about certain marks that will appear upon his
forehead; but when he has gone I will explain those marks so you
will understand them."
The President covered his eyes with the spectacles.
"Why," he exclaimed, "I see upon your own brow the letters--"
"Stop, sir!" interrupted Rob, with a blush; "I don't care to
know what the letters are, if it's just the same to you."
The President seemed puzzled by this speech, but fortunately the
minister of police arrived just then and, under Rob's guidance,
the pictured record of the Orleanist plot was reproduced before
the startled eyes of the official.
"And now," said the boy, "let us see if any of this foolishness
is going on just at present."
He turned to the opposite side of the Record and allowed the
President
and his minister of police to witness the quick succession of
events even as they occurred.
Suddenly the minister cried, "Ha!" and, pointing to the figure
of a man disembarking from an English boat at Calais, he said,
excitedly:
"That, your Excellency, is the Duke of Orleans, in disguise! I
must leave you for a time, that I may issue some necessary
orders to my men; but this evening I shall call to confer with
you regarding the best mode of suppressing this terrible plot."
When the official had departed, the President removed the
spectacles from his eyes and handed them to Rob.
"What did you see?" asked the boy.
"The letters 'G' and 'W'."
The President scrawled something on a sheet of paper and signed
his name to it, afterward presenting it, with a courteous bow,
to his visitor.
"This will enable you to go wherever you please, while in Paris,"
he said. "I regret my inability to reward you properly for the
great service you have rendered my country; but you have my
sincerest gratitude, and may command me in any way."
"Oh, that's all right," answered Rob. "I thought it was my duty
to warn you, and if you look sharp you'll be able to break up
this conspiracy. But I don't want any reward. Good day, sir."
He turned the indicator of his traveling machine and immediately
rose into the air, followed by a startled exclamation from the
President of France.
Moving leisurely over the city, he selected a deserted
thoroughfare to alight in, from whence he wandered unobserved
into the beautiful boulevards. These were now brilliantly
lighted, and crowds of pleasure seekers thronged them everywhere.
Rob experienced a decided sense of relief as he mixed with the
gay populace and enjoyed the sights of the splendid city, for it
enabled him to forget, for a time, the responsibilities thrust
upon him by the possession of the Demon's marvelous electrical
devices.

LONDON (Reuters) - If royal genes have anything to do with
electoral success, then Republican U.S. presidential candidate
George W. Bush will be the next man in the White House, Britain'
s blue blood bible said Tuesday. Burke's Peerage, a revered
guide to the breeding of the aristocracy, said both Bush and his
rival Al Gore are of royal descent, but investigations deep into
their heritage show Bush has far more noble and royal
connections. Bush is closely related to every European monarch
on and off the throne -- including the King of Albania -- and
has kinship with every member of Britain's royal family, the
House of Windsor. He is a 13th cousin of Britain's Queen Mother,
and of her daughter Queen Elizabeth and is a 13th cousin once
removed of the heir to the throne, Prince Charles. Bush's family
tree can be documented as far back as the early 15th century. He
has a direct descent from Henry III and from Henry VIII's sister
Mary Tudor, who was also the wife of Louis XI of France.

Thesis 1
(Almost!) all proper names are disguised definite descriptions.
(e.g., "George W. Bush is a disguise" for "the current president
of the U.S.")
Thesis 2: Definite descriptions (& thus proper names) refer to
functions
What's wrong with Frege's view?
Back to the problem of bearerless names: e.g., "The King of
France is bald"
* For Frege: * "The King of France" has a sense, but no
reference (because there is no such person) * Therefore, the
sentence "The King of France is bald." has a sense, but no
reference (no truth-value).
Russell: That doesn't make sense!
* It seems absurd that "the King of France" doesn't refer to
anything!
* It also seems absurd that "The King of France is bald" lacks a
truth-value: it is obviously a false sentence!
So, Frege is wrong in thinking that definite descriptions refer
to actual objects. (because fictional definite descriptions have
to refer to something!)
So, what do definite descriptions refer to?
* They refer to functions, yielding truth-values.
* e.g. "The King of France" = There is only and only one thing
that is a king of France and that thing _________.
(where the "___________" just stands for whatever we say of the
King of France in the sentence) And the truth-value (the value
of the function) depends on what we fill in for the "________"!
* So, the sentence "The King of France is bald." = There is one
and only one thing that is a king of France and that thing is
bald. The sentence turns out to be false! So, Russell's thesis
gives us the intuitively right

Other creepy traits of our commander-in-chief make sense when
seen in the light of his unacknowledged alcoholism. There is his
adolescent habit, for instance, of conferring nicknames on all
who come within his ken...
Bush's prolonged sousitude also explains his verbal miscues, his
syntactical insurgencies, his grammatical catastrophes. It's as
if the bourbon marinade left deadly lacunae in his already
diminutive brain, making it impossible for the most elementary
thought to navigate its way through the decimated labyrinth of
his frontal lobes.
Then there are the quirky smirks, the bug-eyed glares and goofy
grimaces, his words and facial expressions so out of sync that
you are reminded of a badly dubbed Japanese monster movie.
Finally, what about all those lip gyrations when Bushie is under
stress, the tiny mouth working this way and that as if it were
engaged in attempting to remove the cap from a bottle? It must
be the sauce.

Myself of a good social standing, I came to know all shades of
society, from the old legitimist circles, where I was not a little
bored, to the new aristocracy created by the Bonapartes and the
Orleanists, representing the society, perhaps not of Paris, but let
us say, of _Nice_. Dumas the Younger, Sardou, and others, take
thence their counts, marquises, and princes, who, without historical
traditions, have titles and money in plenty, and whose principal aim
is to enjoy life. I frequented their salons mostly for the sake of
their female element. They are very subtle, the women there, with
highly strung nerves always in search for new pleasures, fresh
sensations, and truly void of any idealism. They are often as corrupt
as the novels they are reading, because their morality finds no
support either in religion or tradition.
Simplicity of mind would have given me happiness, but what is the use
to speak of it? The hunchback, too, would be glad to get rid of his
hump, but he cannot, because hump-backed he came from his mother's
womb. My hump was caused by the abnormal state of civilization that
brought me into the world. But straight or crooked, I must love, and I
will.

When the Orleanist monarchy was overthrown in France in 1848,
the leaders of the revolution had no qualms about seeing the
republican flag that had so terrified Napoleon's conquests as a
"symbol of equality, of liberty, and of fraternity," but most of
all as a "symbol of order." The need for the pursuit of liberty
to be in accord with the rule of law and not in conflict with it
was again restated, over seventy years after Jefferson had
sought the right order of words to express the relationship
between individual freedom and public responsibility.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, the hunchbacked physicist,
was a complex character who cannot easily be subsumed
under Enlightenment values, even though he never faltered
in his allegiance to reason. His writings are multifarious,
ranging from poems to scientific articles, but they are all part
of a single confession.

Caricature and French Political Culture 1830-1848
Political caricature flourished as never before in France during
the early years of Louis-Philippe's reign. It was Charles X's
assault on freedom of the press that led to the Revolution of
1830, and the maintenance and guarantee of this freedom was one
of the July Days' few tangible benefits. Numerous under-employed
but politically aware Parisian artists made the most of this '
window of opportunity' before the reimposition of censorship in
1835.
One might speculate that a later technological innovation, the
digital scanner, lies behind historians' current enthusiasm for
imagery as a source. The recent illustrated biographies of two
of the most significant pictorial characters of nineteenth-
century visual culture, the young recruit Chauvin and the
hunchback freethinker Mayeux, might serve as examples.
